Good morning world
it's kicking off,
the sea is rising, and so are we
Melbourne Sydney
Mumbai Assam
how dare that child
sail across the Atlantic
to beg Congress
not to kill the planet
environmental breakdown
impossible to ignore
Jakarta Kampala
Freiburg Berlin
the crisis won't wait
and neither will we
if you were smarter
we'd be in school
when your house is burning down
you don't wait 30 years
to call the fire brigade
Kyiv Prag
Newcastle London
climate change doesn't care about
your political stand
not a single government minister
has come out in support
we probably hit a record here
amidst the gloom
a moment of hope
let's hope everyone is listening
polar bears in Paris
DC New York
sweet suffering duck
this is absolutely massive

if you breathe air
then you should care
"amidst the gloom
ReplyDeletea moment of hope" -- yes! Thank you, Heidi. xo
Cheering you on from Haiti!
ReplyDeleteI love "if you were smarter/
ReplyDeletewe'd be in school"
!
Thanks for this cheering on the crowds who are telling all the "musts" to do. Now if those who feel otherwise would unplug their ears & stop worrying about their money. The "found words" are all that's needed! Thanks, Heidi
ReplyDeleteYes! My most successful chant contribution was
Delete"Planet-
Planet-
Planet over profit!"
A little poem there too.
Environmental breakdown / impossible to ignore: Yes! Heidi, you captured what needs to be said. NYC kids had the day off to join the youth protest.
ReplyDeleteOh this ending! I hope and pray that government ministers are listening and planning on actions!
ReplyDeleteYes to all here Heidi. Your poem reminds me of many of the call and responses from the march in Chicago yesterday, one was, "planet before profit." And what's wrong with people why don't they know about Climate Strike Marches and care, Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThank you for marching and for this news from the day.
