Amidst the icy tundra of the southernmost land,

There lies a glacier, mighty and grand.

A towering behemoth, an ancient mass,

The Doomsday Glacier, a time-bomb at last.

In the frigid heart of this frozen world,

A danger brews, waiting to be unfurled.

Slowly, steadily, the glacier slides,

Toward the ocean, its chilling tides.

Like a beast that stirs in its icy lair,

The glacier moves with a groaning air.

A rumble and a crack, a sound so deep,

A warning of the secrets it will keep.

For the Doomsday Glacier is a force to fear,

Its melting ice a harbinger so clear.

A rising tide, a watery deluge,

A future we cannot afford to refuse.

The waters rise, the cities fall,

A world submerged, a chilling call.

The Doomsday Glacier, a tale of woe,

A warning of the world we'll soon know.

As we watch this glacier inch its way,

We must remember the price we'll pay.

For every inch, every foot it melts,

We'll pay the price with dire results felt.

The Doomsday Glacier, a symbol so stark,

Of a future we must strive to avert.

A world of water, a world of pain,

A future we cannot afford to sustain.

But amidst the danger, there is light,

A chance to change, a chance to ignite.

A chance to rise, a chance to stand,

And save our planet, our precious land.

The balance of the world is a fragile thing,

A harmony that must be kept in swing.

With every step we take, every choice we make,

We must remember the cost of our mistake.

The human impact of a world submerged,

Is one that cannot be easily purged.

The cost in lives, in loss and tears,

A future we must reject with all our fears.

So let us act before it's too late,

And stop this glacier's chilling fate.

Let us stand, let us take our place,

And work together to save our planet's face.

The Doomsday Glacier, a name so dire,

It fills us with dread and with burning desire.

A force of nature, an awesome sight,

A reminder of the power of might.

As we look upon this icy giant,

We see a future that is defiant.

A world of water, a world submerged,

A future that cannot be purged.

But amidst this darkness, there is light,

A chance to make things right.

A chance to rise, a chance to shine,

A chance to save what's truly divine.

For the Doomsday Glacier is a warning call,

A call to act before we fall.

A call to rise, a call to stand,

A call to save our precious land.

Let us not be silent, let us not be still,

For the time to act is here and it's real.

Let us work together, let us take a stand,

And save our planet, our precious land.

For every inch, every foot it melts,

Is a step toward the fate we've felt.

Amidst a world submerged and in doubt,

We cannot afford to flout.

The price of our actions, each choice we make

Shall determine our future's fate.

We can rise up, we can make a change,

And save our planet from this chilling range.

The Doomsday Glacier is a call to arms,

A reminder of the world's alarms.

Let's make a change, let's make a difference

Rearrange and collaborate in our defense.

Our future's destiny is not yet made

It's up to us to embark on the crusade

Every step we take, every move we make

Can create a world that's truly great.

Yet fear not, rise up and take a stance

Work together, let's give the planet a chance

To build a world that's free of hate

And steer clear of this icy fate.
