Awe Inspiring Al Gore Climate Poem Video

The humorous way in which Al Gore carries himself – in tandem with his claims of internet authorship and ‘lockbox’ lore – have made the former VP and top job aspirant one of the most entertaining political fixtures of the decade.

In midnight sun

Vapors rise as

Snow glides from the mountain
Ice fathers floods for a season
A hard rain comes quickly

Then dirt is parched
Kindling is placed in the forest
For the lightning’s celebration

Unknown creatures
Take their leave, unmourned
Horsemen ready their stirrups

Passion seeks heroes and friends
The bell of the city
On the hill is rung

The shepherd cries
The hour of choosing has arrived
Here are your tools

Hearty thanks to Twin Cities radio legend Mark H. Seignious (frequent guest on the TWG Podcast) for bringing these glorious moving pictures to our collective attentions.
