Burning Issue
City of Angels is burning,
As the rich watch their real estate
Consumed by a changing climate.
Are they capable of learning
That their way of living has stalled?
Because their world can’t be sustained,
Pools of profit need to be drained,
Common humanity recalled.
The not so rich, the very poor
Also must act in this same scene
To abolish, at last, what’s been
Fuelling the problem. Profits soar
While the free market keeps trading,
Even as the earth’s degrading.
