Nuclear Sunset

Acid rain splatters down

On a plum-tinted town.

About to drown.

The sun, once gold,

Obscured by the clouds –

A smog that enshrouds

The rich mines of coal.

And the polluted grounds.

---

Humans caused the world to splinter,

When they brought on this Nuclear Winter.

With their fossil fuels and blatant denial

Of Global Warming

They laughed and smiled.

All the while

Misinforming

And ignoring

All the warnings.

Now no one’s left to put on trial.
