Christopher Flaherty Poet Free verse

Greta Thunberg Climate Protester

Young Swedish School girl

Greta Thunberg

Climate change protester

Is surely a sticky topic to discuss

Due to her admirable her intentions

But does a burgeoning teenager 

Really have the ability to comprehend the actual facts surrounding such a complex diverse topic 

And should the world's media outlets really be listening or giving her airtime

Or is this merely just a good will
news story that no 1 should question

Because no 1 should question the great intentions of young people

Even if there facts and statements
are ill informed

Or rather would the children she is amassing to
march and stay off school

Not be better served staying in and
learning more about these things
