earth’s a ball of crackling clay
in disarray
temperature are rising higher
we’re on fire
though fools deny it’s all a hoax
it’s not a joke
hope for the future up in smoke
from green and lush to ash to dust
before it’s too late, change, we must
in disarray, we’re on fire…it’s not a joke

The Oviellejo is an Old Spanish verse form (derived from ovillo, a ball of yarn). A stanza consists of 10 lines, with a rhyme scheme of AABBCCCDDC. The second line of each rhyme scheme, Line 2,4,6, is short line of up to 5 syllables. The last line is a “redondilla,” a “little round” that collects all three of the short lines.

Indeed, it’s not a joke. It’s rather time to wake up.

I can’t imagine summers like this repeating or getting worse year after year!

It is getting to a point where the naysayers have to take notice.

They should, but I doubt they will. We just need to vote the bad apples out and replace them with people who are paying attention!

That is how it should happen. If the environmental pollution becomes an issue in the next election, then maybe people would try to become more aware.
