Melting Permafrost

For a long time
I've been staring at the glaciers
From the Alps
High in the Alps
Mummified
Plastered to the ice

For a long time
I used cryotic soil
As the bed for my dreams
I can tell it didn't work
Didn't melt that way

And I made men work on earth
So the land starts to melt
And the species in me flourish

I needed these few degrees to actually breathe
And now, ironically, I can think cold
However, I still feel this sickening fear
That great amounts of heat lead to a flood

Times do changе and new problems appear
I'm usеd to them, it's no option to ignore
Consequences and benefits
Of this melting permafrost

For a long time
I've been an observer
Floods, droughts, fires
Plates crashing, earthquakes
Hunting, farming
Islands drowning
Seasons changing in negative ways
What else could add
This well-meaning
Melting permafrost?
