Rising temperature

By the horizon,
I sat.

Watching the sea,
reflecting the colours of the sky.

The water washed on the foot of the horizon hill.
Making me chill.

Oh the world is so beautiful,
blue skies and green forests.

Great plains and breath taking hills.

What happened to them,
I though.

Vanished they have,
the plains and hills,

covered with cement and construction bills.

No longer can you just sit down and listen to nature,
because when you sit and try to listen,
all you can hear is the cars roaring.

The temperatures are rising,
and glaciers melting,
and there is nothing that I can do.

Some say it's not our fault,
but I beg to differ,
we run down the forests and build tree killers.

So what can we do?
go green,
or don't care,

honestly I don't know.

"The trouble with Borrowing another mind was, you always felt out of place when you got back to your own body, and Granny was the first person ever to read the mind of a building. Now she was feeling big and gritty and full of passages. 'Are you all right?' Granny nodded, and opened her windows. She extended her east and west wings and tried to concentrate on the tiny cup held in her pillars."
— Terry Pratchett, Discworld: Equal Rites
