The Polar ice caps melting as the sea levels rise <br />A World of flooded coastal Lands not hard to visualize <br />In the Artic in a decade from now there may not be a Polar Bear <br />So many species of birds and animals on the endangered list <br />and so many species rare <br />To combat Global warming I cannot say I've done my best <br />As an environmentally aware person I have not passed the test <br />Above the coastal city black smog lines in the sky <br />Of droughts and floods, storms, fires and famines no need to wonder why <br />The warnings of environmental disasters by Climate Change experts 'twould seem have been in vain <br />Why we only fear an economic downturn is beyond me to explain <br />The economy is built on Nature and when Nature is feeling ill <br />The economy will die a natural death our fate is Nature's will <br />The World climate changing from north to southern shore <br />And we talk of the economy and Nature we ignore.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-polar-ice-caps-melting/
