POEM: The reading of the deed

Don’t just stand there staring when water’s seeping in under the kitchen door

Here, then, your inheritance:

a busted planet   sea level

rising  temperature too

making things rough for you

 

admittedly, but don’t blame us!

The government insisted

global warming was fake news

and forecasters resisted

 

connecting dots  It was safer

to stick to the corporate line:

weather happens – but to assign

cause would break a network rule

 

But hey! Don’t just stand there

staring when water’s seeping in

under the kitchen door and

already halfway across the floor

 

Get a move on before it’s too late

to run down to the hardware store

to ask Jack if he’s got a thermostat

that will change the weather
