(Apologies to Leonard Cohen)
Three hundred thousand demonstrators
joined in the People's Climate March
in New York City
to demand
that global leaders
take action on climate change.
This congregation
of bleeding-heart hippies
(with "C02-ebrity" heart-stabber
Al Gore present
among others
like big-government Democrat
New York Senator Chuck Schumer
and "independent"
Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders
and big-Hollywood actors
Leonardo DiCaprio
and Mark Ruffalo)
was timed to coincide
with the United Nations
Climate Summit this week.
First we take Manhattan
then we take carbon?
