H.I.M

As the wind roars loud
And rain pours down
They close their eyes
As we start to drown
And our homes
Become our graves.

“It’s not our fault”
They repeatedly say,
"The science is flawed
It will be okay
Don’t change
your fossilised habits.”

Instead of trying
to mitigate
Lives are lost
To accommodate
the higher echelons
Of a flawed society.

Ask them now
As they warm the sea
“Why won’t you act
To stop this catastrophe?”
Keep shouting
Until they listen.
