shift

rain rain go away
come again another day
little johnny wants to play
rain rain go away

sane sun shine away
humans want to live gay
little johnny is forced to say
sane sun shine away

***

johnny's great-grandson
is still polluting for fun
you think the war's won
under the warming up sun
just keep ignoring the pun

smell the heat

now the rains have truly gone
from places that needed most
while mad monsoon rampages on
flooding cities sloth and moist

smell the heat
the pungent fetid heat

pain taints every fray
paints every face gray
tons die their lives everyday
eons of evolution in the bin tobay

smell the heat
feel the melting meat

can't you all see your doom gape?
looming over the skies, a deathly shape.
that day isn't far, where dodos standing over the cape
chant binges about the adamant aquatic ape;
when dog and cat attend the funeral of their mate-
the bird-brained obstinate primate,
the fickle-minded feat of fate.

forlorn believers pray, fall prey
to the mental gods who need a pay
you won't stumble upon hope's ray
listen to what the wise nobodies say
follow those that bark or bray
the inferior ultimately lead the way

escape from extinction is just a breed away
