"NYC Becomes Another New Orleans"

(While Sen. Inhofe pooh-poohs climate change.)

Who'll pay for New York City's levees
And its reconstruction?
Chevron Oil and Wall Street's heavies?
Anti-abortion mass production?

Nah! Taxpayers from midwestern states
Who're parched for lack of water,
Constituents of Inhofe
Who denies it's getting hotter.

But when the Kochs' pipeline from Canada
Destroys their acquifers,
Who's migrating east and west
And suddenly concurs?

But much too late, way too late –
The beachfronts will be gone
And all highrise apartments
Bought by mullahs from Tehran.

Epilogue
Then Big Coal removes the mountains
So that fat laughingstocks
Like Trump can front casinos
With thousand mile boardwalks.
