Situation earth 2019
Forest fires in the artic,
And oceans full of plastic,
This environmental catastrophe,
Demands action that is drastic.
We have just 11 years,
To put right what is wrong,
Or our earth will be facing,
A very bitter swansong.
Our tots and our teens,
Are out protesting in our towns,
On policies of a corrupt Govt.,
Headed by a toxic clown.
A regime that cuts down trees,
And promotes fossil fuels,
Do they think they’ll send their kids to Mars,
Those money blinded fools?
There is no planet B for us,
So we’re on the streets for a peaceful fight,
We have got the people power,
So come on people – show your might

Thanks Don and Amelia for the thumbs up. Whilst i agree poets have a job to record history as it's happening like Don I think action is necessary....like the Extinction Rebellion action around the UK. The poem was inspired by attending a ER Climate Change strike demo, where a six year old boy with a banner bigger than him, told me he had been to speak to his head teacher off his own bat, to ask for the day off to join the protest. She told him she was proud of him and the school would be proud of him! If you are interested you can join Extinction Rebellion on line, you don't have to go to protests just joining encourages the activists who are peacefully protesting on the streets.
