A Poem: Melting Ice, Disappearing Home – The Plight of Polar Bears and Penguins

by bernt & torsten

It’s getting hot in here but I can’t take off my clothes
The heat is rising, the ice is melting, and nobody knows
The polar region is changing, the landscape is shifting
The consequences of climate change are truly uplifting

The glaciers are retreating, the permafrost is thawing
The arctic animals are struggling, their survival is daunting
The polar bear, with its thick fur, can’t escape the heat
Its natural habitat is disappearing, it’s a defeat

The ice floes are melting,the hunting grounds are gone
The polar bear is starving, it can barely hold on Its
once white fur is turning brown, a sign of distress
It’s a stark reminder of the impact of human progress

The penguin, too, is facing a dire fate Its home,
the ice shelf, is disappearing at a rapid rate
The penguin has nowhere to go, no place to call home
Its future is uncertain, it’s left to roam

The polar region is in peril, the consequences are clear
The impact of climate change is something we should all fear
We need to act now, to make a change, to reverse the trend
The polar bear and penguin, and all life, depend

On our actions, our decisions, our collective will
To save the planet, to preserve it, to keep it still
It’s getting hot in here but we can’t take off our clothes
We must act now, to save the polar region and all that it holds.
