!63Drought2

El Niño may just be the result of the cyclical changes in climate that occur throughout the millennia. There has been measurable damage to the ozone layer which in turn may be signaling the beginning of global thermal warming. However, this particular “100 Year” drought makes one wonder if perhaps nature is just plain pissed-off at all of us for our ongoing mishandling of the environment.

Also, who else but a weatherman could earn three-quarters of a million dollars a year and still be wrong two-thirds of the time!

Summer’s Drought

               Dry, searing Heat; Earth scorched to Dust,
               Rye, Fields of Wheat, Grain torched, combust,
               High Grasses green, turn brown, like Rust;
               Grim Weathermen remain nonplussed,
               ‘Slim Chance of Rain’, they’ve aired, discussed;
               Why Forecasts earn Disdain, Distrust!

               It seems as though we’ll never learn,
               'Who’d foul the Nest, could let it burn!'
               Exploiters, all, show Unconcern,
               For Nature’s Laws, so taciturn;
               Of Common Sense, lest we discern,
               We’re past the Point of No Return!

               Oh Men will do Whate’er they must,
               E’er clear-cut Land; kill Trees robust,
               Shear Violence, each Deed unjust;
               Ignoble Breed, they'd breach the Trust,
               To satisfy their Greed and Lust;
               Is ‘Global Warming’ God’s Disgust?
