Literature
And you knew
Your thirst for gold
Makes you cruel,
knowing the harm you do.
Forty years you've known.
Are you a fool? Climate
change will end you, too.
Industry depends on crude.
Plastic parts are all around.
Our economy must change.
You bring us storms
and rising tides, droughts,
famine, and war.
None of this will come
home to you? Beware!
It's our world, too.
You steal our country,
and destroy our world.
You won't accept controls.
You destroy our land
and not extend a hand,
when a change needs to be.
I cannot not understand.
Yet I do not need to,
to put a stop to you.
