It's Different This Time

Nov. 12, 2007. Written for our first poetry unit.

They say we're all gonna die
but still, I wonder why
any minute it could happen
at least that's what they say

The ice caps are melting
the plants are whilting
the earth is so hot
that its causing an ice age!

Yes I know its getting hot,
I'm not saying it's not
but it was cold from the 40's to the 70's
and warm before then

and yet we're still here...

Different? That's what you say?
The criminal Americans in their large getaway cars
George "Bushes" growing up and up and up
ripping holes in the ozone and past the stars

So kill the cows (they're all mad anyway)
let the trees grow
we need to breath
though it increases the CO2 emissions you know?

So basically what I'm trying to say
is that global warming is a major issue of today
and cooling was yesterday...
but anyway...

It's different this time
