Deep Regret

Sometimes its always on my mind
sometimes its easy to forget.
But when I am reminded it hits me like a heavy stone
a violent gust of wind
and I am horrified of how I could have forgotten
it is the elephant in the room
but some continue to deny.
Why do they continue to ignore it?
Is it because they are scared?
Or angry?
These questions fill my head
every time I remember.
stubborness is something I understand, sometimes
but not when it comes to our entire planet slowly heating up over time
slowly annihilating all living life
until nothing is left for the polar bears
summer or winter
to stand or live on
until we have nothing to iceskate on
because it will be too warm
I also speak directly to our president
who I respectfully and honorably but totally disagree with
Climate change is real
and soon it will be one of your deepest regrets

    What do I write about
    when 
    people are dying
    people are mistreated
    people are misguided
    people are screaming
    people are crying
    people are morning
    people are shouting
    people are angry

    I say "people"

    Our world is on repeat
    until everything is better

    Our lives are going to be the same
    until everything is better

    The same frequency over and over again
    lulling us to sleep.

    Endless nightshifts and worries
