There’s an elephant in the room and she isn’t feeling well The land around is closing in Rain and heat are acting strange Food is hard to find All around, so much dying Water isn’t where it was Scratch for food, search for comfort Days are long and hard Our human power is desire It’s what brought us where we are Fishes have it. Elephants too We’ve just learned to make it all come true Now the planet feels the pain Death or life, we flip a coin Things we do can turn the wind Build a planet where life can win Let the air go back to clean Same for oceans, forests, streams People need to pay attention Change our choices All of us Soon Stop the extractions Let nature be nature It’s this or that And “this” means doom J Marsh 2021
