| Heated ice caps melt Rising seas swamp coastal belt. No stopping the melt. HAIKU POEM ROSALIENE BACCHUS |
Yo Shell/BP - let's kick it
Iceberg melting melting
Iceberg melting
Alright stop, collaborate, make 'em listen
Ice melt with fossil fool invention
Climate chaos grabs a hold tightly
Flow like a monsoon daily and nightly
Will it ever stop? We best hope so!
Turn off Tesco's lights - let's grow!
To the extreme we'll all be labelled "vandal"
Death of democracy - light a candle
Dance - go rush the guns that boom
Evolve brains with psilocybin mushroom
Deadly as dope - that's the TV melody
corporate news - the people's enemy
Turn it off, leave it off, better not wait
Better cut the bull, teach the kids to play
Yes, there's a problem, yo we gotta solve it
Repair our planet before Big Oil destroys it
Iceberg melting melting
Iceberg melting
Now that the party is ending
Prices sky high, oil no longer pumpin'
Quick to the pump to the pump no faking
Cooking CO2 like a pound of bacon
Burning it - are we thick? Simple?
Crazy not to heed warning symbols
Wear a hard-hat in this Armageddon tempo
Civilisation on a roll - no time to go solo
Pursue climate criminals till they stop stop
Bust way past left-wing head to the black block
The block is worldwide
Yo so continue to repatriate all Bechfront Avenues
Girls, boys: balaclavas, bikinis
redistribute wealth, smash Lamborghinis
Yes, there's a problem, yo we gotta solve it
Repair our planet before greed destroys it
Iceberg melting melting
Iceberg melting
Take heed 'cause I'm an ecological poet
Land under sea if we don't take over it
'Cos our lifestyle's a chemical spill
Unfeasible, unsustainable: bankers - pay yo' bills
Class war by the rich - hell of a concept
Makes it tight for humanity to survive this
Check the temperature gauge - so fast,
Politician say damn - oil is a drug, buy it by the gram
Keep our composure - let oil loose
Community, renewables - kick the juice
Yes, there is a problem, yo we gotta solve it
Repair our planet before consumerism destroys it
Iceberg melting melting
Iceberg melting
Yo man, woman, child - let's get outta here
Word to Mother Gaia
Peace.
Poem from Ad-Liberation by Sai Murray, published by Peepal
Tree Press Ltd., United Kingdom, 2013.

Some poetry reaches out and touches you; Sai's poetry
stretches out and grabs you. There is not a single sleepy
poem in this collection [Ad-Liberation], they are all lively,
intelligent, and they defy categorisation. I love these
creations. I think Sai's work is original, adventurous, and
refreshingly relevant.
BENJAMIN ZEPHANIAH
[Sai] writes with humour, angry-yet-calm honesty and also
barefaced cheek.
