Every drop of oil
Burned 
In the multitude of American cars,

Is a drop of water
Drowning  
Innocent island homes.

Every re-microwaved cup of coffee, 
Is a contribution to a 
Record- high heat wave,
 
In a place 
That may not even use electricity.

The disaster television shows
That some endlessly watch
Are 
Lived 
By others who never picked up a remote.

Should it be 
That because some of us 
want quick transportation, 
Others lose their freedom?
  
Should some 
Enjoy a hot beverage, 
while others are deprived 
Of the life giving element
Water?

Should the happiness
Here
Cause misery 
There?
