Denial

It's scary, I can understand

But, if you would, just take my hand

And look at the reality

that's happening in front of me

homes drowning in flames

and consumed by the sea

Lists of lost names

and those forced to flee

You wouldn't listen when it was just polar bears

Or those in less fortunate nations- "Who cares?"

But now our homes, too, are slipping away

How dare you, how could you continue to say

"It's a hoax!"

"It's a scam!"

"This is somebody's plan!"

Denying the planet's fate day after day
