The nightmares are not hiding behind the closed eyelids
They are there out in the open, wearing the garb of daymayers
We think that things we fear are those which we imagine and not see
But what is the most frightening aspect is that we don’t recognize
The dangers which are starting us in the face right in front of us
( I have written this because of the enormity of the climate change which is gradually destroying our environment and we have collectively closed our eyes and conscious towards it)
The Prompt;
“There are many who don’t wish to sleep for fear of nightmares. Sadly, there are many who don’t wish to wake for the same fear.”
― Dandelions: The Disappearance of Annabelle Fancher

Ugh this is so me. I am so frustrated by this fact and I’ve made more than a few posts which touch upon this subject. I was just a BBQ with my step-father last Sunday and he tried talking about how “Climate Change was just a liberal conspiracy theory” and I really wanted to slap him across the head. How ignorant are these people of science and actual data?

Well done post on a volatile topic, Sadje. If people don’t believe in global warming, they should not have such a closed mind. Even if global warming is a natural event for the earth, it is being magnified by mankind. Thank you for your very worthy contribution to the challenge.

It is. All facts supported by research. Why people and governments still deny it!

An excellent subject matter, one in which needs serious attention. I don’t understand how certain people claim that nothing has been proven as far as climate change goes… “Look around you people!!!’ This by far scares me more than that of society. We only have this one planet and Lord only knows how much more it can take.
