With The Copenhagen Climate Summit Flop

With the Copenhagen Climate Summit flop it cannot be denied That the last hope of survival for many oceanic islands has died Doomed to be swallowed by the rising sea The politics of greed through nationalism the bane of humanity, For the inhabitants of small ocean islands the future seems bleak indeed Forsaken by the leaders of the World's most powerful Nations in their time of need The painful reality they have come to realize That they have to leave their islands as the sea levels rise The so called Copenhagen agreement just an idle boast Those who have contributed least to carbon emissions are those who will suffer most The millions living in Third World Countries and the inhabitants of Oceanic Islands will sadly lose out Of a bleak future for millions of poor people there can be little doubt And all due to the politics of human greed Of our own demise we may be sowing the seed.
