I have never been much of a poet...
but the time to act on our climate crisis is now, not later.
"Untitled"
Wildfires & Earthquakes.
We cannot easily put out the flames.
The fracking makes the earth shake.
It sets our water on fire.
We drink oil & fracking chemicals.
We are not allowed to know what those chemicals are.
This is the new normal.
People just look away.
Disbelief, indifference, helplessness.
A Melting North Pole.
Our crops are drowning in floods & roasting in drought.
Plastic flows through our water from garbage.
In the smallest streams from our oceans.
Bits & pieces too small to see, but small enough to drink.
Our seas are a graveyard for creatures.
This is the new normal.
People just look away.
Disbelief, indifference, helplessness.
When the sunsets are all gone,
& replaced with a nuclear winter haze-
will it be another new normal?
Will you look away?
The Global Polluter Money will no longer matter.
Their profits will not be as self serving as they had hoped.
Harvesting the earth & humans was their business.
Property Damage, Starvation, & Death.
Profits. Immorality. Mortality.
This is the new normal.
People just look away.
Disbelief, indifference, helplessness.
