Climate Change




                  Climate change is headline news
                  Will it happen? Yes it will!
                  And when it really gets here
                  Guess who will pay the bill?
                  It won't be the big companies
                  Nor those multi nation'l guys.
                  They make your hard earned dollar
                  Disappear before your eyes
                  It won't be those in government
                  Nor the beaurocrats you see,
                  It will be the many workers
                  Just like you and me.
                  The pollution is still pouring out
                  From coal burners, in the air,
                  From power generators, factories
                  That are busy everywhere.
                  But the people who are fouling us
                  Trade off this awful mess,
                  They invest in carbon credits;
                  Shareholders they will bless.
                  They'll raise the cost of everything,
                  Changing climate is the cause,
                  The Gov'ment then raises taxes
                  They explain that its because
                  They're investing in the future
                  For the voters in this land.
                  But they're still taking money
                  From every workers hand.
                  After all is said and done
                  Mother Nature knows what's best
                  So she keeps right on changing things
                  To put humans to the test,
                  One day we may get it right
                  She'll get on the phone
                  And tell the nations experts
                  To leave our world alone.

    I am sorry I really do not mean to offend but in the end I was laughing.. Because in the way that you put this in ryhme it was a like a jolly ol' song about a very serious matter.. And the fact that Mother Nature has a phone is so cute.. I bet it's a sprint-phone..hmm. no wonder we're not getting the message yet..lol.
    Great write.. I really liked what you pointed out here..
    Well done.
    Peace to you,

      My effort to make something of the fact of climate change has hit a spot here and there. It probably should have been an article, but no one takes any notice of them, so I put it in rhyme. Thank you for commenting, maybe I shall try an article later on.
      Cheers, Bob

    Great write Bob....I think one day mother nature is just going to say, Thats It Ive had enough, and wipe us all from this planet......and that may not be a bad thing actually, she will recover and replenish, just ensuring man is not here ....

      Hi Rob, thanks for your comments. Its a sad day when we know that we, as a type of being, are making a bit of a mess of the very thing that gives us life, our planet. Mother Nature won't wipe everyone out, just most of us. The few that remain may get it right next time.

    Let's face it... big business is gonna make the most of whatever they can to fill their pockets and satisfied their needs and their shareholders!!! It sucks that even something like this global issue is something that will end up lining their pockets, while others still suffer!!

    Sigh!! Great write here... I feel ya!

      Hi Jackie, Yes its a sad day for everyone that the process of reducing pollution of the atmosphere will be paid for by the minority as normal. Pity we can't charge for services we render to society. Thank you for reading my grumbles.
