Elephants and Blue Whales
I do not envy the young;
deceived by a silver tongue.
Inflated egos swollen,
their innocence got stolen.
Like an unsolved mystery,
truth fades into history.
Today's kids face climate change
on a planet acting strange.
Wild elephants and blue whales
will fade into fairy tales.
And it will not help to cry;
millions of species will die.
They'll soon witness oceans rise
as any hope for change dies.
With their futures placed on hold;
many may never grow old.
Thanks to greed's stupidity,
trust lost its validity.
We've disenfranchised our youth;
there's no greater sin or truth.
