Climate Change. a poem by Dr. Rubeena Anjum

Climate Change 
 
a convoy continues in smog, time ends
the bright world around us no more exists
and high-rise cities thatched in thick soot mists
blind hostage sun―brown auburn storm descends
 
its climate change, fire till the end extends
when scrolls from scriptures sync with scientists
then death is man's act; rogue syndrome assists
red venoms pass through epochs; dusk transcends
 
cosmic debris hits iced rocks; rays spark sears
those sad stars out there who wish to swap lives
a wave stirs deep down; sprouts seed out of dares
 
who claims the earth; whales, dinosaurs, or bears
perchance, a hope; humanoid shape revives
what if it happens―sci-fi film draws scares
