The poem below was recited at the Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe by 11year old
Samuel Tembo from Sir Roy Welensky School during a brief welcome ceremony.
This poem was written by his father who urged him to recite it with a lot of feeling in it.

Global warming, global warming, global warming
What global warming to talk about
What good is in global warming?
What beauty is in global warming?
Nothing but destruction
The protective ozone layer have been destroyed
The sun’s rays falls directly on us
Climatic conditions have been affected
What beauty is in global warming?
Nothing but determination
Global warming who created you?
You have opened the floodgates of hell
You have killed thousands of people
Millions have been displaced
Chickens and goats have been drowned
Worms and bridges have been swept away in floods
Lizards, chameleons and insects engulfed in flames
Yes, l see nothing but destruction
We have seen EL Nino in Zimbabwe, cyclones in Asia
Tonados in the USA, Veld fires in South America, Heat waves across Africa
What beauty is in global warming?
Nothing but destruction
Let us come together as a community
Let us come together nation
Let us come together as one world
And stop global warming
Because it is nothing but destruction
