Some Men Really Do Just Want to Watch the World Burn

a poem

Photo by Andy Watkins on Unsplash

Sitting here reading, unfocused While the Amazon burns down

Fish are boiling to death in the sea The arctic is in flames too

the new normal Climate change is now

The forces and powers that exist in this world

Could put that fire out Could stop and heal the dying earth

Nations coming together Leaders using resources to

Make a change To calm the flames

But We know this

They do not want to They want it to burn

To see what they can do To profit off of

Whatever is left Turn the source

of the worlds oxygen Into another factory farm

Because somehow we live

In a horror film a bad guy villain thriller

with no reluctant hero waiting in the wings

we watch it burn waiting
