This poem is highly influenced by the style and writing of Maya Angelou, because I believe, if she were still alive today she would be in this fight too.
No time to wait for future days The change is here, that’s right Yet, you deny our climate wisdom scorn us, but still we fight The data is in, no denying it yet pushback from the right Our presence seems only to anger you but undeterred still we fight. Is it our strength that scares you? our devotion, our insight? Your fear of change so shaken but regardless, still we fight. Solutions reach before us our future we’ll rewrite While many still may doubt us for our planet, still we fight We yearn for purest sunlight blue skies where birds take flight honey fields where bees alight and fireflies ignite restoration in our sites where forests green regain their height and children voice their songs forthright in a cleaner world that turns out all right for each of those, still we fight Flora, fauna, survival their right for youth with dazzling futures bright we hold those dreams, and still we fight And still we fight.
