Dear politicians,

Stop the lying

Stop the deceit

Change the world

Or bow to our feet

The ice caps are melting

The sun is too bright

The colorful coral reefs, are now all white

The animals are leaving, beyond our existence

The end of our kind, just a short distance

O’ great politician so pure and so just

Remember these words when our world turns to dust

What is your job? 

Who do you serve?

Isn't it our wellbeing you're supposed to ensure?

Looks like to me, and too many others

You people serve no one but each other

Change the world  please oh please

My name is the lorax and i speak for the trees

this is supposed to be a slam poetry piece and it is supposed to demonstrate my anger towards the general incompetance of the american government when it comes to climate change.
