What the flood is going on?<\/p>\n
creeping, bubbling in at dawn<\/p>\n
closing down beloved parks<\/p>\n
do we need some Noah\u2019s arks?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Whole neighborhoods collapse when<\/p>\n
an avalanche of sludge creeps, then<\/p>\n
the throat is dry for just a drop<\/p>\n
contaminated all, clean H20 stopped.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Polar caps are melting now<\/p>\n
causing us to argue, how<\/p>\n
is global warming drowning us<\/p>\n
slowly immersing the human race.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And now, the world is new once more<\/p>\n
oceans, ponds and brooks restored<\/p>\n
one borne creature swims alive<\/p>\n
wet and happy in water\u00a0thrives.<\/p>\n
