Warming Warning

The ice melts
The river grows
End of humanity?
Or beachfront toes
Thinning air
Circulating above
Dries out all nature
Creates a flightless dove
The turbines spin
To add pain to pleasure
But dams run desolate
Providing a hopeless endeavor
Temperature soars
Conditioning obsolete
Bringing life to its knees
As we admit to self-inflicted defeat
