What would douse the fire? A take on global warming

 The heat builds up, 
Inciting a fire, the jaundiced sun's anger 
Spewing the ire of past summers
It is global warming they say,
It works like a reflux, you see
When we hoard, biting more than what we can chew
The bloated-ness, engulfing a living planet in toxic residues! 
Erupting as a heartburn for entire humanity
What would douse the fire, 
the hankering for more than one's needs?
If only mankind had known better of the soul food
To satiate and soothe in just a mouthful
What global reflux would not pay heed
When the thayirsaadam fulfills a world of needs!
