I feel as though I'm in a dark cave
with the world burning outside.
I lie here,
listening to adults
debate about the fire.
Does it exist?
Is it really that important?
Is it more important than our economy?
The more important question is,
Why do you expect my generation to put out a fire,
while you wait in your cozy cave?
Each day the fire burns,
more and more land deterioriates the habitats.
And they sit there.
In conferences and meetings.
They express their 'grand plans'
for the next years and decades.
They have forgotten how fast this fire is spreading.
They have forgotten how much it has spread.
It isn't planning on stopping,
unless we start a plan to stop it.
