Poem

The world's biggest problem?  It wasn't going away. 
One fifteen year old girl would face it.  That was just her way.
She didn't give us fantasy.  She gave us action.
Demanding from leaders of the world, satisfaction. 

Politicians insulted her, saying, "naivete",
stating she oversimplified, that's how they'd portray
her.  Whether she was popular - that she did not care,
as she laid bare their smoke screens with clarity so rare.

She had things to deal with -  Asbergers and depression.
The brave way she handled them teaches us a lesson.
She turned depression into action. her courage to enlist,
making a few enemies, but none were scientists.  

Climate awareness was not this girl's only impact.
Backing the campaign to fly less changed the world in fact.
Sweden dropped four percent in domestic travel by air.
Pretty good work for a young girl with the grit to care.

Greta Thunberg, just a girl, also influenced me.
I keep my carbon footprint small, I don't go on a spree. 
I vote.  My money's in a fund with a low MSCI,
inspired by the young girl who won't let the planet die.
