Crime And Clime

Missed the ‘l’ typed the ‘r’ Clime became crime Don’t think I strayed too far It was in tune with the time For man sees no harm In Globe’s getting hot If oceans rise changes the clime Earth becomes a melting pot More of rain more of drought Heat and cold in excess Earth’s heating up is not in doubt It’s happening without redress The rich they don’t feel the heat Glowing too hot in wealth It’s the poor who’ll take the hit Scarce food will mean ill health You may ask where’s the link Between crime and climate The answer is there within a wink Scarcity drives up crime rate Crops will fail when the globe gets warm For we couldn’t forsake a motor ride Didn’t foresee belching smoke’s harm Cared not to take earth on our side With little food to feed hungry stomachs Not enough to sate belly’s growls Folks will forage like the wolves’ packs Will take to crime the innocent souls As for me the seller of rhymes Though they aren’t worth a dime When hot climate breed lot more crimes Surely will arrive my time The impoverished poet with his wand of poetry Will roam the burning roads of asphalt Singing his rhymes in tears of misery Selling his balm amid tumult
