‘What Say You?’

When people refer to 'Climate Change' as being one of the most important issues facing our world today, I wonder why we are led to believe that it has only become an issue, since it was discovered that our atmospheric ozone layer has become depleted. Perhaps man must take responsibility for the entire period of time in which mankind have completely interfered with our world’s natural balance. Nature once abused, will always demand in her own way, that balance is regained... Always!  This piece was written from that perspective…

‘What Say You?’

Trust me not with your children

For I will tear them from your arms

Their pleas lost, weak sobbing dashed

Ha, as are your dreams - Your hopes freed

of foolish arrogance standing in my way

Your futures built on a 1000 year old path

Compacted, yet unknown - Always being

sands of other times equally blown

What say you now, of life in tornado alley?

For I have broken you with ease

Your insignificance lies limp, flung

across the miles of splintered debris

Your once flowing boxed landscape,

now torn, dirty matted, bedraggled

Trauma in your daughter’s hair

What say you now to your God?

What say you now, to me!
