In Blatten, a Swiss village so fair,
A glacier crashed down, without a care.
Evacuated days before, with a warning so bright,
But one person was missing, a terrible sight.
The mayor spoke out, with a heart full of pain,
"The unimaginable has happened, we must sustain."
He promised the village would rise again,
Though homes were flattened, and hearts were in pain.
The Swiss army arrived, with a helping hand,
To support the villagers, in this troubled land.
Members of the government came to the scene,
To offer aid and comfort, and to be seen.
The village's 300 inhabitants had to flee,
After geologists warned of the glacier's decree.
Now many may never return, it's a sad, sad fate,
A community torn apart, a village too late.
But still the mayor spoke, with a heart full of cheer,
"We have lost our village, but not our heart, my dear."
He vowed to support each other, through the dark of night,
And to find a way forward, to a brighter light.
The Swiss government promised funding to stay,
To help the villagers rebuild, in a new way.
But climate change looms, a threat to the land,
A warning to all, to take a stand.
The glaciers melt faster, the permafrost too,
A threat to the mountains, and all they hold true.
Drone footage showed the glacier's collapse so grand,
A deafening roar, that shook the land.
The villagers of Blatten, will rebuild and thrive,
But the threat of climate change, will always survive.
A warning to all, to take action now,
To save the glaciers, and the mountains somehow.
