Harry Smith recently spoke with Al Gore about his new book, Our Choice, and invited the former Vice President to read a few lines from a poem he wrote on climate change.

Maybe it’s the incredibly dark set, the glances by Gore or the hushed tones of his voice — but the whole thing feels a bit uncomfortable. Check it out below:

    My life flowing arteries are chocked by the spoils of man.
    Whence once they fed the mighty oceans the world to span.

    My regenerative forests are decaying with the toxic fleme of acid rain.
    It stunts my growth and inflicts a terminal, weeping, creeping pain.

    Fires ravish my body and stifle my breath.
    Asphyxiating, acidic fumes hang heavy upon my breast.

    My moods are erratic, my seasons lost.
    Where once I was temperate, mighty storms I now boast.

    I flex my power in such an awesome way.
    Let not mere man stand in my way.

    For I will cast him aside, my spirit to save.
    I will not perish by the hand of a weakly knave.

    My oceans will swell and my breath will heave.
    Mother nature is my soul, let not man deceive.

    Flames and pestilence will mark my scorn.
    At such a cost, I will survive, I will be reborn.

    I can’t get over this guy. I mean do people really take this guy seriously or are we all just brain dead idiots? To me he seems like a total goof ball and If I were in charge of any media I wouldn’t give this dope the time of day. I would make him a complete joke!
