Climate Change
The rivers choke, the mountains weep,
as forests burn in silent sleep.
The air, once light, now holds its breath,
a prophecy of coming death.
The oceans rise with swollen scars,
their voices drowned in gasping stars.
The sky now wears a poisoned crown,
its kingdom tilts, yet won’t bow down.
But in the ash, a whisper grows,
a seed still fights, though no one knows.
For nature bends, but never breaks,
a phoenix born from past mistakes.
as forests burn in silent sleep.
The air, once light, now holds its breath,
a prophecy of coming death.
The oceans rise with swollen scars,
their voices drowned in gasping stars.
The sky now wears a poisoned crown,
its kingdom tilts, yet won’t bow down.
But in the ash, a whisper grows,
a seed still fights, though no one knows.
For nature bends, but never breaks,
a phoenix born from past mistakes.
