IF the climate was COVID-19, this wish list would prevail For this wishful wish list, the unjust carbon sins prevail Human kind never anticipated, what kind of human is human kind
Never saw it coming, but hit by surprise, panic and uncertainties
As the 21st Century Armageddon and biocide for the climate
The climate change in an accelerating changing climate
If climate change was COVID-19, the environment would be sanitised
If climate change was COVID-19, the polluters would be vaccinated and masked
Carbon emitters, forest plunders and polluters would be locked indoors
Never to pollute again, taste the just medicine of their climate injustices
If climate change was COVID-19, climate injustices would be recorded and monitored daily
There would been no Conference of Parties (COPs) due to travel restrictions and daily curfews
World leaders would neither embrace nor shake hands, so they can’t spread climate sins
No palms would be greased with greenbacks but with the transparent smelly liquid
To sanitise their sins for polluting the environment with the anointing smelly liquid
If climate change was COVID-19, emissions, toxins, deforestations and degradations
Would be monitored and tested by the non-contact infrared thermometer
Carbon sinners and eco-freaks would be quarantined
Never to grace the Conference of Parties (COPs) and get detained
Never to receive their share of greenbacks, their major concern
