Climate Change Tax

I'm re-posting this poem because it seems relevant still. I first wrote it years ago but the subject matter is news again. [or maybe -- 'still']
Climate is Changing
June 10th 2010 04:42
Climate change is headline news,
Will it happen? Yes, it will,
And when it really gets here
Guess who will pay the bill?
It won't be the big companies
Nor those multi-nation'l guys.
They just help your hard earned dollar
Disappear before your eyes.
It won't be those in Gov'ment
Not the beurocrats you see,
It will be the ordinary workers,
Just like you and me.
The pollution is still pouring out
from coal burners, in the air,
From power generators and
Big factories everywhere.
But the people who are fouling us
Trade off this awful mess,
They invest in carbon Credits;
Shareholders they will bless.
They'll raise the cost of everything,
Say Climate change is to blame
And govt raises taxes
Their excuse will be the same.
They're investing in the future
For the voters in the land,
While they're taking money
From every worker's hand.
After all is said and done
Mother Nature knows what's best
So she keeps right on changing things
To put us humans to the test.
One day we might get it right
She'll get straight on that phone
And tell our nations experts
To leave her world alone.
