COP Out (28)
There is far
too much carbon in the sky
Where, self-important
leaders, with a dearth
Of ideas,
jet from all around the earth
To vent hot
air, enjoy banquets and try
Looking as if they’re serious about
Rapidly
melting glaciers and ice caps,
Forest
fires, flooding, droughts destroying crops,
Drilling for
oil, letting more carbon out.
They’ll
propose taking radical measures,
Whatever’s
required to reverse the trend,
Just as
long, they’ll say, at conference’s end
They don’t
impinge on capital’s treasures.
But then, of
course, there’s the question of war,
Missiles and
shells make carbon levels soar.
