Changing the climate

Once upon a time, through all climes,

Society was Peaceful and fragrant,
Occupationally responsible.
It protected nature as it would children from danger.
Humans remained humans, and animals animals.
The weather smiled in hearty approval and responded

With courteous disposition.
Dry seasons fetched the Rains, Winter the Spring,
Ushering abundance and assurance.
Trees grew taller, grasses greener and air fresher.
The expansive wild ensured no animals went extinct.

The great sea keeps the Alps and Atlas in strategic juxtaposition
So no one rocks the boat.
Travellers reached destinations and returned Safely,
To the merriment of compatriots.

Then enters Globalisation where

Ominous possibilities proliferate.
Furious technologies of Space and war
Alter the fabric of nature, un-taming its bowels,
Exuding, among others, a repulsive bile:
The ubiquitous climate change.
Green House Gases ooze to deflate the Ozone. 

Warmer temperatures melt age old glaciers and
Acidify oceans.
Unto the world unrolled the quadruple phenomena of 
Tsunamis, Fires, Draughts and wars,
Which lacerate the earth,
Add tons of heat and socio-economic scars,
To keep everlasting fountain of tears
On its once beautiful face.

To allow this edginess of man who breaks his back 

To perfect skills and tools to annihilate,
The Earth converges its experiences,
Shortens its distances.
G.M.O. then determine our lifestyles,
A.I. makes a sea change of them,
And on our humanity, our sense of Justice.
Elsewhere becomes everywhere.
Conflicts swell among erstwhile harmonious communities.
Righteous peoples displace and maim
women, Children and the old.
Deaths from unfathomed ailments
No longer were alien.
Humanity’s poor feels technically at sea,
Their cries rising in the wilderness.

Woes in pictographic clarity are reported
With mirthless smiles and tear-less eyes.
Modern society moves with extraordinary revisionist fervour,
To question its basis of existence.
