Global Warming

by Sophie Overton, UK

It has begun
Trees burn as bright as the sun
The scorched land is almost done
Everything will soon be gone

Ice melts and water boils
Houses flood and the sea roils
The ocean spoils
And life recoils

Coal and oil taken as a habit
Greenhouse gases envelope the planet
We must take off this jacket
Remove the packet

We can remake the world we cannot replace
Make it a better place
Stop this race
Be rid of the relentless disgrace

Produce less carbon emissions
Change the conditions
Destroy our addictions
Talk sense into politicians
