Tahsinur Rahim, Grade 12
UWC-USA
Foggy and smoggy,
greyness in the atmosphere-
From the town’s chimneys.
Political schemes,
all the coal will stay right here,
forget the coastlines.
Trees smouldering, gone
That back garden will look like,
The trees on that hill.
Headlines the next day,
Heatwaves baking the earth,
Homes blazing in flames.
Islands swept by tides,
Sinking deeper and deeper,
Fishes got a home.
