"We have not inherited the earth from our ancestors,
we are borrowing it from our children." - origin unknown
When voices of the young
Cry in the wilderness
For the sake of the wilderness,
Do not conspire to silence them!
They are emissaries from the future -
Destined to inherit the effects of
Every wise or foolish choice we make.
So, when Greta Thunberg
Speaks in warning tones
Of a world on fire
And dangerous greenhouse gases,
Her words reverberate
In Stockholm, Glasgow, London
Berlin, Madrid, and other
Stations of our fragile globe,
All the coins jingling in the pockets
Of all the oligarchs who shop
Our frail world's crust 'til it drops,
Cannot mask the costs of greed and denial.
So if Greta's shouts for global sanity
Gnaw at our collective conscience,
Listen up, people! We can only
Hide from the truth at our mortal peril.
