Dead Silence

jolted into reality waving franticly
from the rooftop of your house
floating down the flooding river

twisters' green skies run for cover
sirens daily warning duck
undergrounds bunker scramble

fire scars breech unknown heat limits
deaths wave blowing fanning forward
devastated landscape souls roasted alive

African dust settles fast
mixing with the fresh fire's ash
choking coughs defining moment

bleaching schools and coral reefs
underwater heatwaves blob stretches
setting heavy weather's stage so easily

hurricanes laughter sinister indeed
blended  with an elongated nino season
punishing coast-lines boundaries reason

while oil executives gobbling up subsidies giggle
laughing at squandered deals getting away with it
shutting up dirty old congressmen inside traitors

knowing the long-held secret
global warmings eventual fate
insect's sacrifical dissemination

after the bees then the birds
then the grass then the trees
dustbowls memory wandering blind hacking

islands fate submerged into underwater cities
dead bodies in fishbowl's newfound castle
washed up on shorelines blood trauma

posturing and pointing bankers plead
toxic handouts stealing a farmer's needs
health care's failures running joke

weathervanes spinning in plastic rain
exposing futilities downward spiral entering
dead silence dead set on destruction

farmland underwater contracts expire
swept away in the great midwestern flood
rampant homelessness wondering aimlessly

hot dirty smiles rotting eyes and minds
stretched beyond medics sweltering reach
tropical heat roasting at mountain tops peak

doubting weathermen chastized the nerve
climate change realizations blocked unheard
meanwhile twisters smile standing at your door

jokers are the leaders and leaders jokers
poker jokers hiding the oil money cards payout
holding then doing absolutely nothing but folding
