A Global Warning about Global Warming

                                     ^{-Forist Johnston}

 

_{Ghoulish screams fill the night- it's always night here}

_{Like vermin, man kind has been forced underground by the miles of water above and deathly temperatures of the unshielded sun}

 

O_{nly a concrete barrier protects us from the thousands of tons in weight of the melted ice bergs that sit calm above us}

_{Bawling of babies who will never see the sun, or feel the breeze on their skin, or swim in the salty Atlantic}

_{Angry wraps of man made air lashes from vents, but does nothing to cool the heat that radiates from the people and ground}

_{laws forbidding animals, men and women are separated and life is much like the novel 'Anthem', by Ann Rand}

  

_{Weary of the concrete ahead and weary of the mantle below, the worlds people are still, the joys of music and art are long vanished}

_{As for the government, they hide our day's of running in sun and grass, supporting the population and food supply by a thread}

_{Ruthless starvation kills, even with the execution of all other living things in effect}  

^{Night takes over day, and light is scarce . Money's value was lost with the tree's it borne from}

^{Institutions like schools and hospitals are extinct as well, the smell of garbage and feces and the unburied dead stench the still air}

^{No more are our days of imagination and thought, people are useless, they have no need for complex thinking in this life}

^{God's creations have been deceived and uncared for, and our destruction addiction has murdered the continuation of humanity.}

hehe i had to zoom my computar to 200 to read this lol. But this is a very interesting perspective of what might happen. And it was very well written.

Well...you certainly were very descriptive in this piece. While I don't agree with the view myself, it was an interesting read! Reminds me a little of Tank Girl... a movie from a bit ago... don't think they were underground due to global warming...but it took me there anyway!! : ) Good visuals!!

[Tangerine]

That was very good. Your writing is quite interesting; I'd be delighted to read another poem from you.

Wow u really care about the world im not worried about global warming because God siad he would never flood the earth again. If u start talking to me u might get a different view of life. Great writing though :)

I really would suggest you making the font bigger, I had to copy and past it so i could enlarge it enough to read. This was a very thought provoking piece... Global warming is something that is feared among everyone now a days and pieces like this are sprouting up like wild flowers. The ultimate question is, is it really our fault or is the sun and earth slowly coming together and creating the ozone layer to die? (thats what my astronomy teacher is saying.) This is very good, could flow better in my opinion but it's only my opinion take it or leave it :) Great Job! I look forward to reading more of your writing :)

well well well.....i see that it has nice way of blending, though if it floods, the part on living underground makes no sense, although the truths on government are excellent and the gruesome thoughts may make people think twice. though how would this go to tell people its there fault? i didnt see too much. its great!!!! love it, just flows as if it was a single pipe, only one destination :)

though to say, i would make it bigger so we can read the text please
