THE INVADING STRANGER

This piece is a poetic confrontation between the speaker and the consequences of climate change—portrayed as an invading force. Through emotional reflection and vivid imagery, it reveals how human actions have allowed this “stranger” in. But rather than give in, the speaker rises with determination, vowing to fight back through environmental responsibility: protecting nature, reducing harm, and adapting for survival. It’s a call to awareness—and a promise to act.
