47th President Poem: World Burn, by Blaine Atlas

Flames chasing after the hall of fame, yet people still refuse to take part of the blame
Embers spreading at the speed of light, all because our “leaders” believe the climate is alright
Buildings burn and lives are turned, all because of lessons some refuse to learn
What will it take for them to see what we see? Or will they always refuse to accept that people
are in misery?
Riots and threats, bombs and bloodshed, all our generation knows and yet somehow our
“leaders” have no regrets
Viruses and outbreaks, attacks and so called “mistakes”, why do they refuse to accept that our
world is at its final break?
We will keep fighting and hope our voices will be heard, because we are sick and tired of
watching the world burn
