Now will the science deniers
Deny the power of nature
With the mile wide tornado
That destroyed huge chunks
Of Oklahoma
And killed children in school and
Folks in their homes and workplaces
How many unbelievable weather disasters
Will it take for us to understand
That we choke our earth at our peril
That no amount of material wealth
Can ever protect us from a nature
That is degraded and poisoned
From the carbon we insist to spew
Into an atmosphere that
We continue to destroy.
