Planet A
February 8, 2022
The trees are cut down
The rivers look brown.
Wildfires disfigure the West.
Hurricanes level the rest.
They say act before it's too late,
But we produce more plastic waste.
We are dousing the flames of climate change with oil
So we will watch our planet spoil.
They say it's a hoax,
But the earth jokes with no folks.
They want to flee
And leave their problems with me.
But our generation will fight
To protect our Earth for more nights.
Because we have no plan B
When there is no planet B.
