Haikus for the Climate Apocalypse
Dandelions survive
Not the voices of children
And, yes, cockroaches
Air, earth, fire, water
All the ancient elements
Will watch us vanish
Did you want to star
In a disaster movie
You are, this moment
We’re waving goodbye
To ourselves, dancing a dance
Of human folly
A dim memory
Of trees, carp and polar bears
Are clouds immune
Will the poor go first
Glass and marble fortresses
In the end are tombs
Slowly on its way
It’s doing what we bid it
We selfish humans
