In the United Kingdom
A group has decided that
We should bring no more
Babies into the world until
The climate is under control
They are thinking about
Their future and the good
chance that there will
Be no food or water as
Our planet is destroyed
This is the consensus of
The scientists, they say
They get shrill when challenged
Consensus is not science
The earth was the center
Of the universe, according
To the consensus and
The earth was flat
Y2K would be the end of
Civilization. It wasn’t
Polar ice caps are now
The largest in recorded history
NYC is still above sea level
Most species are rediscovered
Never endangered; just relocated
The ocean is warming because
Of man, but only one-tenth
Of one degree in the last fifty years
If it continues at this pace it
Will rise one degree in 500 years
Is that good or bad? We don’t know
Maybe unborn babies, had
they been conceived would
Have solved perceived problems
Nature is unpredictable
If man could cause change
man could correct any errors made
Forest mismanagement
has led to terrible disasters
This is science
Where is the outrage
Where did the money go?
Immigration laws are
Ignored and broken
We need enforcement
Women are molested and raped
Will they be encouraged to
Give birth or abort?
Who will make the next
Great discovery?
Global cooling became man-made
Global warming and when
that didn’t hold; we changed the term
To climate change; consensus
But not science
Big money in the carbon business
Ask Alfred Gore, Jr.
People exploited
Industries shut down
Renewable energy called cheap because
It is subsidized. All a hoax
And now, no babies
This is not a solution, but a directive
A cause to find solitude, but
In solitude we find our recklessness;
Drivenness; compulsiveness, an urge to
Act quickly; to make an impact; have
Influence and relevance while avoiding
The fire, earthquakes, and the wind
Solutions will come when we yield to the
quiet voice within, which centers us with
Reality and urges humility
