Weather records charted mercury rising hot enough to melt tar,// Which indicates global warming quite evident I fear,// What, with mean temperatures from January - July 2012 (thus far)// noticeably above the norm for this time of year// prognosticators foretell forecasts per this 3rd planet from the star// which inhabitants upon Mother Earth burden of responsibility must bear// billions of people wanton pollutants ratchet up barometric millibar// dialing up greenhouse effect, which serious scenario scientists fear// correlation from profligate offal ways traced from freed genie in the jar// no longer stretch of imagination affects mankind did sear// since day of reckoning whence Prometheus set stage for war// pitting mankind against Gaia messages we fail to hear.
