Arctic Blue

Yellow, then soft pale orange Slowly lit the morning sky. Blue ice shrinking every day With each sub zero dawn. Polar bears now diminished Skinny from lack of food, seal pups dying before they are Out of their teens. They are Fewer now the ice is melting. Mankind's lust for greed, for Over producing from oil to Clothing. Trashing majestic Rainforests to grow animal feed. Yet space tourism is beginning To take off, pun intended, and A new arms race gathers pace as Polar bears still die from hunger. The blue arctic night ends as it Started, the colour blue fades Into the black of night, and yet, Nobody seems to notice.
