we have all seen plastic-covered beaches,
chemical clouds, consequences unimagined
forests lying horizontal, it teaches
our generation time must not be wasted
but, I have witnessed aquamarine water,
jaw-dropping bear grass, glacier-carved mountains,
moose, grizzlies and nature’s beautiful color
sights everyone should see in their lifetimes.
when I take my children to see the magic,
there will be no more glaciers, only ghosts of
greatness. our glaciers will be outlived by plastic
it is time to start caring, let’s choose love.
the castles of my childhood deserve justice
put our planet, just once, over convenience.
