Chorus:
Unless you choose,
To be caged,
Most of the time,
Is free-time.
What’s your purpose,
Being outraged?
Or, wasting time,
Being sublime?
Chorus
Unless we choose,
The next stage,
We will unwind,
Running outta time.
Chorus
Plenty to loose,
In this day-and-age,
The end of time,
Don’t let it happen!
Chorus:
Uh oh,
Something’s,
Cooking,
And, I don’t,
Like the way,
It’s smelling.
Smells too bad,
To be cabbage,
I imagine,
It could be,
Rotten eggs?
Chorus
Makes me sad,
In such an age,
That souls famine,
It could be,
One who begs?
Chorus
Yup, I think,
Something,
Does stink,
And, it’s starting to look,
Like it’s the cook,
The one who prepares,
This recipe,
Is fouling things up…
Completely,
So, if you wonder what’s up,
For tonight’s sup’,
It’s the crap we put in this stew,
Spoiled ingredients…
More than just a few:
A rotten attitude
A cup 1/2 empty
A spoon feeding (Until spoiled)
A temper (Boiled)
Now, we’re pleading,
And, moaning,
From stomach pain,
But, look in the pot,
None does remain.
Should have been thankful,
For what I got,
But, I forgot,
Now, I’m full,
Of spoiled rotten,
Wish I wouldn’t,
Have forgotten.
Chorus
I’m not quite sure,
Why I’m so sore,
So, to myself I say,
“Hey! Didn’t think you could take any more?”
To which, I reply,
“Ahhh… so what,
I’ll endure.”
Though my heart does ache,
In fact, we make it break,
When we’re so careless,
With all at steak,
My stomach does turn,
The more I learn,
About what we’ve done,
But, that’s just half the mess,
’cause we continue,
We do.
Chorus
Though my head is numb,
Knowing we’re dumb,
We’re dumb?
We’re done…
Getting second a chance,
We’ve missed,
The last dance,
And, it’ll make ya sick,
If’n ya think on it,
Once it’s clicked,
It’ll make you irritated,
It’ll fester and boil…
Until it’s over?
Please… let us discover,
A cure.
Chorus
I thought I could depend,
On Greenland,
I don’t understand,
How’d things get so outta hand?
Mountain glacier,
Washes ashore,
West Antarctica,
Coming right at ya,
Willing to sacrifice,
Greenland’s ice,
East Antarctica?!?!?!?!
Daaaaa…
Heart attack —
Ahhhhh!
With the rising tide,
There’s no place to hide,
A brackish backlash,
Can’t take it in stride,
The divide… toooo wide.
As Tasmanian’s cancer,
Is Nightmare’s romancer,
A Frankenfish,
Scales the wall,
Escaping from,
Man’s great fall,
Yeah, we’re hot,
As our heatwave,
Sends em to their grave,
Yeah, we forgot,
What we’re not:
We’re not so good,
To know what we should,
We’re not too good,
To do what we could.
If we think of the good…
We would.
With the rising tides,
Our ride collides,
A brackish backlash,
Gotta blame it on pride,
And, my selfish inside.
Kingdom come,
Has come undone,
How dumb?
How dumb.
NOTES
John (of Bakersfield, CA) asked:
Is there a consensus on the maximum sea level rise if all the ice upon land melts ? I have heard from 175ft. to 415 ft. Anybody done an accurate study on this ? Thanks
Sidd replied:
various contributions from ice
a)mountain glaciers: 10 cm — 7 in
b)West Antarctica:500 cm — 15 ft
c)Greenland:500 cm – 15 ft
d)East Antarctica: 7000 cm — 210 ft
also other contributions from thermal expansion of the warming oceans (20 cm/degree/Km) etc…. looks like greenland is goin fast
It’s getting hard to believe,
That we won’t relieve,
I mean… I’m in disbelief,
That we won’t offer relief.
We can’t claim we’re unaware,
Undoubtedly unfair,
It’s evident,
We don’t care,
Though permanent,
It’s dismissed,
Now, we’ve misssssssed,
The boat,
Our ship came in,
But, left again.
Our chance?
Remote.
A severe circumstance,
Makes my journey,
Difficult,
A fear juggernaut,
That’s our own fault,
Gotta change our stance.
Why can’t I see?
Have I…
Grown blind,
Am I that kind?
An insight,
To help us see —
Difficult!
And, it’s our own fault.
That’s right,
You can blame me,
Or, have we all turned…
A blind eye?
Haven’t we learned?
Will it take decades to fade,
Is there enough time in a century,
To rewrite all of history?
Will it even take a decade to fade?
Please forgive my curiosity,
Sometimes it gets the best of me.
The intuition of the Inuit,
Well… they seem to have it,
Global warming gasers,
Are worse than terrorists,
Slowly killing the masses,
Because self-fulfillment,
We can’t resist,
Bringing on pain through disasters,
Bringing it on faster and faster,
All hopes being dashed,
As time passes,
All hopes… smashed,
Do you think it’s meant?
No! Don’t fade away,
Hey, hey, hey,
Don’t fade away,
Hey!
Let’s move away,
Hey, hey, hey,
From trouble stray,
Hey!
Live another day,
Hey, hey, hey,
Don’t fade away.
(repeat and fade)
