to melt and be like a running brook 
that sings its melody to the night  (Gibran)

comes fast depriving nature's might
to melt and be like a running brook 
that sings its melody to the night                         
foraging asunder sans a second look

environment due for a drastic change
large expanses transformed affecting
life forms in a barren iceless  terrain
subdued facing rage of global warming

  2. You've highlighted starkly the reality we are now facing. Though it begins with gentle lines from Gibran, it ends with a stark warning.

  3. Our species has damaged this planet, perhaps beyond repair. Your poem says it all.

  5. It will change the world... I wonder if there will be any room for humans afterwards.

  6. Makes me wish those monoliths that keep showing up are symbols of extraterrestrial intervention to keep us from destroying our planet.
