DESPAIR POEM

DESPAIR POEM


Here on this human infested planet

We watch the climate change

Like arms on a clock

Tick tock tick tock


The summers getting hotter, drier, deader

Flash floods and fires

We gaze silently as if watching it unfold on our screens

Scrolling scrolling scrolling past


Not reacting, not fighting back

Do we trust that our politicians will enact change? Never!

Do we care so little about the future?

The future of our only known liveable planet,

The future of our children we keep birthing?


Replacing hope with materialism, capitalism, apathy

Why aren't we reacting? Why aren't we demanding change?

Mad Max used to be so alien to us

Now it seems a certain reality


The politicians glorify industry

Throw cash in their pots and mollycoddle them.

Why do the richest men make all the decisions?

While legal systems jail environmental  protesters!

Our democracy lacks democracy

Here on this human infested planet
