Not In Recorded History
Deadly droughts drained
And bubbled because of
A ferocious flash of furor
Let loose were temperatures
That made the world fierier
Than at any time in noted history
Seas acidifying, species on the brink
Of death, the earth barked a bitter welcome
To an unwelcoming upheaval of heat and hell
