Global Warming and Forest Fire

Art guides man out of the unknown
Global Warming and Forest Fire

Dr Abe V Rotor

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. ~
