A single particle of misunderstanding, <br />One degree of uncharitable accusation, <br />a discharge of corruption, <br />an emission of malice <br />an icing-over of the globe, <br />a conflagration of ill-will, <br />all merge and meld into <br />a hardening of the globe. <br /> <br />As the earth heats up, <br />humanity chills. <br /> <br />Suspended inside this ice age of antipathy, <br />this bleak tundra of rancor, <br />lies a proposal: <br />If eons-old glaciers can melt <br />into placid lakes, <br />cannot the hearts of men?<br /><br />Sonny Rainshine<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/global-hardening/
