Under the midday sun

Under the midday sun Thirty-one days above 110 in Phoenix, sweating just thinking about it I need a Kleenex Maui damn near burned to the ground, storms from hells howling makes a horrendous sound You wonder if global warming has begun, as I'm standing baking cookies under the midday sun Glaciers’ shrinking, calving faster melting away, our eco system spins out of balance further each day Uncovering lands meant to stay frozen, our existence becomes threatened by this path we have chosen You wonder if global warming has begun, as I'm standing baking cookies under the midday sun Polar ice shrinking, violent storms brewing, time for all the world to pay attention to what we’re doing Temperatures can’t rise, not even one degree, or the coastlines will be subject to severe catastrophe You wonder if global warming has begun, as I'm standing baking cookies under the midday sun Tim Windisch 08/15/2023
