Why are people gushing over the past,
Over the vintage clothes,
Trying new hairstyles and going shopping every day?
Why are people not changing their lives to help the planet?
Sometimes it seems that climate change
Was forgotten among the other problems of the world.
It’s so hard to find someone who cares so much about climate change
That every night they cry themselves to sleep,
Scared that nothing on this planet will change,
That the ocean will keep rising,
That people will keep dying,
That women won’t ever be free,
And that no one can be the gender they feel.
These problems have been swept under the bed,
Forgotten because of the pandemic,
Wars,
Celebrities.
Why do people still not believe in doing the simple things of getting an electric car, using less plastic and changing from fossil fuels?
They don’t understand that they will die if we keep treating the Earth like it won’t die.
