Climate Change

The sky is orange out in Seattle;
In California it is red.
Louisiana's buildings rattle
With hurricane-force winds instead.
In Iowa the corn lies down
From the derecho that passed by
While Texan -outs, both black- and brown-,
Mean thousands freeze and hundreds die.
The Colorado River's gone
And with it water for the west;
The polar vortex seems to spawn
Much further south each year. The rest
Of US history will be
The coming rising of the sea.
