biblical storm surge

DeSantis called it a biblical storm surge

As if climate change is an act of God

Invoking religion instead of science 

God damn him for denying the obvious 


But since he referenced the Old Testament

With its stories of catastrophic destruction

Brought down by a wrathful Jehovah

To punish human society gone wrong


Yes this disaster is a preventable consequence

After all the warnings dismissed as alarmist

After all the deliberate deflection delaying 

Allowing business to continue as usual


He who has made a name for himself

Vilifying everything woke or LGBTQ

Passing laws to ban progressive teaching

Himself certainly deserves to be punished


Not the innocent people in harm's way

Sacrificed in the floods and fires of global warming

To the system of exploitation that profits a few

Regardless of the harm done to all life on earth
