Hunted, gathered,
Now, humans reign,
Produce emissions -
CO2, methane,
Absorbing heat,
Driving storms,
Breaking all the
Climate norms.
Glaciers retreat,
Ice declines,
Ecosystems
Intertwine.
Coral reefs die as
Tipping points are crossed -
Mass extinctions,
Thawing permafrost.
Collapsing currents,
Can't count on
The rainforests of
The Amazon.
Infectious diseases,
Food and water scarce,
Should have honored
Agreement of Paris.
That's where we're going
But I have no fear.
My kid can worry.
I won't be here.
Credible education
To tell us how.
Behavior, policy -
The time is now.
