Poet David Allen Responds to "Deforestation"


Doomed to Domes

 

 

"Deforestation" by Shameeg van Schalkwyk

 

 

DOOMED TO DOMES


I wonder
how life
will be
when we’re
all living
under the domes;
safe inside,
away from
the ecological
disaster scientists
warned us about
and the politicians
ignored.

~by David Allen
