Thin clouds bright sky
the morning dawns
the whole world waits
will he be gone
the one who mocks
democracy
would silence those
who take note
of his constant lies

How can so many
of my countrymen
and women fail
to notice who
this man in fact
is working for
and how much harm
he's done in four
short years

But neither side
is mentioning
the one big thing
the inconvenient
truth about the
climate though
the planet's warming
linked to more
destructive
fires
floods
typhoons
presages
a less hospitable planet
darkly different from
the one we've known

No mere elephant
in the room
this one will pluck
the whole house
off its weak foundation
roll it down the hill
and likely we've already
passed the moment
when we might have
saved our children
from the coming storm
