Oft have we argued, debated and fought
After elusive answers our feeble minds sought
Shielding our senses from bidden onslaught

Precipitation is precipitous my friend
To the doomsayers we did not our ears lend
Hastening approach of calamitous end

When the crops in their fields ignore our best tending
Barren soil stretches before us unending
The final decision on Man is long pending

When the flow of the rivers turn away from the sea
Divergence en masse from the lines of the ley
For nature neglected has reprised the key

When afraid we do cower, watch the threads come undone
Of lies and deceptions from our mouths had we spun
The fairytale stories, for a while they were fun

When volcano and earthquake consort with the storm
El Nino, Tsunami, Katrina, the norm
As the books had predicted we've been true to form

When our children are dying before we've grown old
Artificial disease coming in from the cold
Man's plague of advancement doth billions enfold

When we no longer breathe for our lungs have dissolved
The simplest of puzzles still linger unsolved
For such a dilemma has Mankind evolved?

When Global Warming and the Greenhouse Effect
Seem so remote we have time to defect
To the warning signs smirk and show disrespect

When the dolphins mumble, mutter and laugh
Snigger at Man for we knew not the half
We think we've been Mother, we've been but the calf
