Chicken Little

When the Sky Really Is Falling

By: Charles Giuliano - Dec 31, 2015

Chicken Little

The sky is falling
That got a laugh
Back in the day
Chicken Little
Another panic
Attack
Over nothing
That's a good one
Now not so funny
Planet
Royally fucked
Nature totally
Out of whack
Natural disasters
Every night
On the news
Confused turtles
Rescued
West Coast seals
Emaciated
Washing up in the
Thousands
Killer storms
Winter tornadoes
Tropical December
Brutal snow
Last year
This season none
Flip flop
Nature confused
Drought
Uncontrolled
Wild fires
Fossil fuels
Unabated
Glad for cheap gas
Under two bucks
At the pump
Drive now
Pay later
As they
Gasp for breath
In Beijing
While Republicans
Just don't get it
The party of
Greed
Drill baby drill
Feel the thrill
While hell
Freezes over

"Drill baby drill. How about another billion years (especially if the North Koreans don't go nuclear on someone) ?"

"The big storm in the Arctic is really worrying. But it all is."

"This said, I wonder how many thousand of years this has been somebody's mantra. I wonder what the dinosaurs (them not us) had on their mind. Did they know the end was near. A great book to read, I recently reread it and it still holds up majestically, is Bulwer-Lytton's (1803-1873) The Last Days of Pompei where everybody was caught in the act. Talk about sitting ducks."
