Is it True

by Andy Clausen

Is it true a huge swath of India will be
        too hot to inhabit? where hundreds
        of millions now live?
Will the land cook?
Where will this massive swelter move to?
A huge cauldron of people cultured to live
        their unique manner & outlook
Where will they go?
Is it true Greenland is sweating out millions
        of tons of itself into the Rising
        of the Great Thaw?
Is it true Venice might be submerged
New Orleans too?
Will many islands disappear?
How about Manhattan?
As fit water is rarefied and the profit motive
        derives policy & law & commands
        enforcement
So the Big Boy wealth will have just cause
        for war as their preferred solution to scarcity
& over population & climate change
Mutated seeds have replaced the Buffalo
The Pacific Ocean is radioactive
Baby Godzillas everywhere
Cameras inside cameras
Every busy corner televised
Yes or No decisions faster than sound
