Clear, blue western skies
Turned crimson red, burning with rage;
Trees that normally sustain,
Fallen victims of human disdain;
Charred remains of places of shelter,
Ere homes that had seen times better;
The Rockies turned white with fear,
Freezing to attention;
The Midwest shed silent tears,
Weeping all week, emerging soaking wet;
Witnessing effects of climate change,
Will human behavior change?
