CLIMATE CHANGE: The time is ending

(The Impact of Climate change)

Her beauty didn’t last and neither did his money,
They were wretched in the cold and wished it was sunny;
The rain poured in, from the tarpaulin above,
But they believed they would survive, only by love.

Resources! Resources! Their trembling house cried.
How blooming was the woman when she came as a bride!
Ample were the jars of honey in the stores,
Guests were amazed by the carving on their doors.

How deep her eyes had set then, how thin her legs had grown,
A word was followed by painful coughs,
She was sick to every bone.

No different was his misery, who strolled the streets,
with his hand in his empty pocket,
He could not afford a sack of rice
but had put on an old Versace jacket.

Coming from a bourgeois family,
Once, he had had it all,
Thousands suffered just like him,
they had all seen the glaciers fall.

Hundreds of factories lay deserted,
still with smoke, the sky was adorned.
Oxygen! Oxygen! With every breath,
his suffocated lungs had groaned.

There was no election campaign, the government was gone,
No taxes to be paid, the crop fields were torn.
No lush green forests, powdered with sunlight,
The bright twinkling stars had gone out of sight.

Such were the days of the lovers, who believed that love was all,
They were told a million times,
They knew the glaciers would fall.

But it wasn’t their mistake, it was the great Newton’s law,
For we are only human and human are we not without flaw.
He returned, too weak to talk and lay down by her side.
And slumbered, too tired to love; unaware that she had died.
