Unrelenting when it blankets deadenĀ lands
causing waves and ripples across desert sands.
Creating its own tumultuous winds as a fire burns
and the choking dust, heat, smoke swirl and turns
paradise into hellscape, and lives once prosperous
become unbearable, deplorable and ponderous
from the enormous weight of the blanket of heat
which has now a life of its own, as it takes its seat
on the throne of all concern for what we have done
bringing climate to our lives, and what’s more to come
in the future of this world, for is this just the start
of something worse, and everything falling apart?
