October 3, Had Enough Yet?

 

Have climate change deniers had enough?

They’ve seen that Mother Nature’s playing rough,

As global warming makes the oceans boil,

She’s telling us: “Stop burning coal and oil!”

 

The evidence is strong, the data clear.

Our punishment for burning oil is here.

Storms coming just once in a century,

Come every year, their cause no mystery.

 

Vaccine resisters die and can’t deny

Their Covid death rate is ten times as high.

Once more the data are clear as a bell.

Resisters just prolong pandemic hell.

 

Denying science: climate or disease,

Routinely part of Donald’s standard sleaze:

Republicans now earn most of the blame;

They’re clearly costing lives in “freedom’s” name.

 

Opposing science, now democracy:

Republicans fight for plutocracy

And laws depending on theology,

Like medieval, church-state synergy.

 

Democracy is on the line this Fall

And education, they’ll attack it all.

Restricting votes, determining who won,

And they won’t stop ‘til we’ve been cooked, “well done.”
