Tower and Town, November 2019 (view the full edition)
Mr PresidentDear Mr President
I'd love to have a chat
About icecaps, trees and climate change,
And silly things like that.
Let's speak of fracking, coal and gas
and problems circumvented,
hoaxes, fake news, seeds of doubt,
your manifesto supplemented.
It seems the only climate talks
with which you intermix,
are ones concerning immigrants,
big walls and politics.
And so I have a question
for the man that they call president:
why ignore earth's climate change
when the facts are oh so evident?
So hate our voices, views and loves,
detest us for resistance.
You fight for blissful ignorance
While we battle for future existence. Emily Coplestone |
