| Notes | This poem predicts humanity's destruction at its own hand as a result of the second 'Flood': climate change. The speaker of the poem references the melting of the ice caps, the seasons out of sync, and the unnatural heat of the climate. Religious language is used in the poem: there is a mention of the 'Flood' sent by God to drown the world in Noah's time, and the ark of the covenant, which we will not receive again due to the poison and greed of the world. There is a sense that humanity has brought this disaster on itself - the refrain 'fillfidh ár bhfeall orainn' - 'our deceit will come back to us' is frequently repeated in the poem. |
