Smoke
“Where there's smoke, there's fire," they used to say.
They didn't know, it was two thousand miles away.
Borne on a hot wind, high and low.
It wandered northward, ever so slow.
It started with, smoky, lazy, hazy, crazy days.
But El Nino's effects work in many ways.
Locked in high pressure's grip.
The smoke made its long, wayward trip.
Now it's putting a hot lid on life.
The ground is dried up and cracking.
Conditions unleashing hordes of insect life.
Soon, even the ground itself, borne on the hot wind, will blow away.
The air will turn from smoke to grit.
You won't be able to summon enough water to spit.
Does this foretell Armageddon, for those who believe it?
Or just the way the Earth turns?

My 'take' or theory is a tad different, and I have believed it for years.
July 16, 1945, the very First A-Bomb was successfully tested at Los Alamos, New Mexico. Less than a month later, "Little Boy" was dropped on Hiroshima Japan, on August 6, 1945. Three days later, on August 9, 1945 Nagasaki was obliterated by "Fat Man".
What if each of these three powerful detonations had only a minute impact on the Earth? An effect on it's Tilt, Orbit, Rotation ???
Just the smallest change to the nth degree?
1945 - 55 - 65 - 75 - 85 - 95 - 2005 - 2015 ... 70 Years have passed.
70 long years of Population Growth, Millions and Millions of more
Automobiles, manufactured and driven, Air Pollution run rampant,
Factories' smokestacks belching out Chemicals, and Carbons, and
other pollutants.
Add to these facts, the mass stripping of both Rain Forests, and other
Forests, which have drastically reduced the former 'Balance of Nature'!
Trees give off Oxygen and take in Carbon.
Perhaps any One of these actions could have produced 'Climate Change'
or the "Greenhouse Effect". All three combined, each and every one,
were caused by Man!
I pray Nature can reverse these statistics!
Smoke ? Indeed !!! ✌️✌️
Love ya!
