This poem was prompted by the devastating fires in Australia, and the refusal of their Prime Minister to accept that climate change has taken a periodic occurrence (bushfires) and fanned the flames into a catastrophe.
The Burning Lands
Australia burns, Fire! Fire! Fire!
The world is now a hotter place
People fleeing, as fires race
A time of hazard, a time so dire
The Prime Minister receives ire
Spurned where he shows his face
Australia burns, Fire! Fire! Fire!
The world is now a hotter place
This burning bush does not inspire
Across the land, unceasing pace
Refugees fleeing in deadly race
Townships burn, animals expire
Australia burns, Fire! Fire! Fire!
Australia burns, Fire! Fire! Fire!
The world is now a hotter place
People fleeing, as fires race
A time of hazard, a time so dire
The Prime Minister receives ire
Spurned where he shows his face
Australia burns, Fire! Fire! Fire!
The world is now a hotter place
This burning bush does not inspire
Across the land, unceasing pace
Refugees fleeing in deadly race
Townships burn, animals expire
Australia burns, Fire! Fire! Fire!
