Nothing Lasts

it's raining in South Africa
it's snowing in LA
it's windy in the doldrums
another weathery day

the polar caps are melting
ocean inundates
places that were once on land
now have watery fates

heat domes and too rivers
flowing in the sky
wildfires, floods, disasters
too often going by

the climate is unstable
nothing is for sure
except that nature will go on
and we must endure

every situation
each unexpected blast
as we're going on and on
knowing nothing lasts

not politician's poison
nor patriotic glee
the future has no place for such
human frailty
