Remains of Rainforest Discovered in Antarctica

The other day when I read that the 'Remains of
90-million-year-old Rainforest (has been) Discovered in Antarctica'
Which probably was the age of more heat in the air
As the levels of carbon dioxide were usually high then
Sustaining the life and growth of flora and fauna.
In that land devoid for 4 months of any sunlight
I wondered then how must have the world died?
Recalling the age long clash between
The dominance of fire and ice.

What made the heated lush-green rain-forested land,
Probably full of life and all the liveliness
Turn into a cold-blooded reign of snow
Which only melts its way towards the catastrophic slope
Just like the glaciers are now melting at much higher degree there
And ozone is far from recovering the hole in its layer
Probably it shall all eventually melt away
With induced carbon dioxide at man-made rate
And this time the earth may burn in fire
Unlike how it happened in the good old days.

And all then will turn to ash
The rest of it will all melt
And the earth will again look alike
As when it was born with only the water in sight
And before we might just come to sing—
"Water water everywhere" in high string
We'll first burn ourselves in hate
Fight and kill — just like we've been doing
Whereas more forests will burn for a while
As Amazon and Australian bushfires akin
Until all is dead — burnt and killed.

And then all will be dead — killed and burnt
A new life will have its next turn.
