Global Warming and Forest Fire

Art guides man out of the unknown

Global Warming and Forest Fire

Global Warming and Forest Fire in acrylic by the author

There's irony in art: one said, it's beautiful;

     I like the bright color, said another;

It is as if it were real, a critic commented;

     but what's the message, brother?

One asked if I painted it right on-the-spot;

     a child thought it was by imagination;

a man was furious: who burned the forest? 

     blaming one and the whole nation. 

Calmly I said, it's an effect of global warming,

      and man's folly plus the phenomenon; 

 art takes the lead, breaking man's indifference,

      and guides him out of the unknown. ~
