Too Late?
Ice melts and glaciers tumble,
seas crash and cliff-tops crumble;
rain forests die of thirst,
dry dusty ground is cursed.
Storms rage and typhoons level,
trees burn as fires revel,
land drowns as rivers rise.
Earth turns, heaves, and sighs.
She's strong and will recover;
not so her sorry lover.
Man shrugs, turns away;
no more he can say.
