Message To the Future

To the Future What would they have done if they had known? Would they have let the Earth burn, Let Eco-Systems shut down before their very eyes? Would they have watched, As men, women, Faces hidden, Cut down our trees, Forests levelled, Burnt to the ground Tell me, Would they have chained them self to a fence? Sat and blocked roads in front of their Parliament? And cried tears as brothers, sisters are carried off? in screaming vans to pay their price. Or maybe; They would have stood by helpless, and just watched; As a million shades of Life become decimated, and the human race, Drowns in a passive ignorance? John Roberts
