By: Cedric McClester Ya see the actual fact is At times it’s not attractive When we’re called to be proactive Cos the atmosphere’s refractive As if an insurmountable force Things have suddenly changed course And the protagonist has no remorse Like the bullets a shooter packs Or a freight train off the tracks A reactionary reacts Only to established facts Don’t cha find it kinda strange That we still argue climate change After all those hurricanes You’d think by now we’d use our brains We’ve been shaken yet not stirred Sumthin’ had to have occurred Though silence is preferred It should make us say my word Like the bullets a shooter packs Or a freight train off the tracks A reactionary reacts Only to established facts And the argument’s been made By the price already paid For the groundwork to be laid So our planet can be saved And by now I think its clear Just check out the atmosphere Global warming would appear To be already here So it shouldn’t take much more For the doubter to be sure That the ozone layer’s core Is sumthin we can’t ignore Like the bullets a shooter packs Or a freight train off the tracks A reactionary reacts Only to established facts Ya see the actual fact is At times it’s not attractive When we’re called to be proactive Cos the atmosphere’s refractive As if an insurmountable force Things have suddenly changed course And the protagonist has no remorse (c) Copyright 2015, Cedric McClester.

A REACTIONARY REACTS
By: Cedric McClester Ya see the actual fact is At times it’s not attractive When we’re called to be proactive Cos the atmosphere’s refractive As if an insurmountable force Things have suddenly changed course And the protagonist has no remorse Like the bullets a shooter packs Or a freight train off the tracks A reactionary reacts Only to established facts Don’t cha find it kinda strange That we still argue climate change After all those hurricanes You’d think by now we’d use our brains We’ve been shaken yet not stirred Sumthin’ had to have occurred Though silence is preferred It should make us say my word Like the bullets a shooter packs Or a freight train off the tracks A reactionary reacts Only to established facts And the argument’s been made By the price already paid For the groundwork to be laid So our planet can be saved And by now I think its clear Just check out the atmosphere Global warming would appear To be already here So it shouldn’t take much more For the doubter to be sure That the ozone layer’s core Is sumthin we can’t ignore Like the bullets a shooter packs Or a freight train off the tracks A reactionary reacts Only to established facts Ya see the actual fact is At times it’s not attractive When we’re called to be proactive Cos the atmosphere’s refractive As if an insurmountable force Things have suddenly changed course And the protagonist has no remorse (c) Copyright 2015, Cedric McClester.
