Warmer Winter
By Shreya Jamnadas
Winter has eventually arrived
This year before schedule than later on in time
Now rather than enjoying the warm weather we all must wear our boots and sweaters
Suffer in this harsh winter season
Shovel the snow
Sneeze and cough from fevers
Why couldn’t winter come only for the festive seasons and leave before the coming year
So we wouldn’t have to live through these months that freeze our hands, face, and ears
Instead we should have summer all year long
Enjoy the sun and not the cold
Change this winter into a warm winter
That is what has begun to happen
Winter months have gone from -20 to 20 ℃
It's all fun and sunny and great, until the glaciers melt down and cause floods
The cute polar bears go from furry to bony
The earlier snow melts changing the warm weather to extreme humidity
Where forests turn into ashes
Water turns into drought
Soil turns into rock
Nature is starting to destroy itself
And all we do is focus on ourselves
Why do we just think of ourselves
Snow is important to nature just like everything else
Why criticize the winter, it helps to regrow nature
What's ruining it is our actions and behavior
It’s time to change the attitude towards the cold
Enjoy them, as at this rate they won’t last forever
