The ice is bleeding,
oceans cough up plastic in its lungs,
skies choke on smoke
while we scroll, sip, and shrug.
The earth is on fire,
but hey, nice tan.
Polar bears drown,
and we're building beachfront plans.
Rivers dry like empty veins,
forests fall, with “no cause”
We trade futures
for convenience and applause.
It’s not coming
it’s here,
and we’re still asking
if it’s real.
So burn your doubt,
breathe it in.
We lit the match.
We’ll die while thinking it's just a ploy to make them win.
