Nuclear Clockwork Orange at Midnight and the Global Heating Thing Too (poem)

 

A yellow bird with a yellow bill
was sitting on the window sill
lured in with crumbs of unleaded
global warmin smashed its bladdy head

Thermostats will just control
alien responsibility for the grassy noll
convictions of greenhouse gas may harm
don’t really strike the right alarm

Turn up the air
in summer it's true
someone will fix it
the rich can do

Nuclear war is a comparative bore
it don’t exist now so viewers aren’t tore
Netflix matters and asphalt too
when it's really bad use super-glue

Believe in iron, believe in steel
trust the benthos to carbon dinos seal
if voters are dumb wet diaper bills pass
not practical to care about common gas

Bear and wolves, tigers and flings
oil slicks over collateral damaged things
wild lives wild gettin more rare
city folks joke and sponsor mechanical tares

To be or not to be a minion alum
climb up the ladder and keep opinions mum
look just one step ahead to the fog of war
cloak the future in complacent cores.

King Canute said yada yada yada this morn
before rolling back the tide of rising sea levels scorned
revisions, reforms of mass economic ways
perhaps nothing will silence environmental end of days.
