Behold
Poetry
by Anne G
Behold
those mighty glaciers there
remnants of the last Ice Age
giants made of time-forged snow
flowing gracefully to and fro
testaments of nature’s power
Behold
those mighty glaciers there
retreating as we live and breath
greenhouse gases – CO2
catalysts of certain doom
cataclysmic world-wide change
Behold
those mighty glaciers there
global warming- rising seas
epic flooding to be sure
word to the wise
we’ve been forewarned
Behold
those mighty glaciers there
we are the guardians
of planet Earth
entrusted with it’s love and care
for us and them, for those to come

Why write? I write because I am: Driven to distraction by the inequities of the society in which we live. Motivated by cruelty, abuse, ignorance and indifference. My intention: To poke, prod and provoke!
