The Truth Stood Downcast In the Lie - Poetry Contest

The truth stood downcast in the lie We met, and vowed not to stand by Through solar and wind we’d stop this But some cared first for their wallets Consumed by industrial drive The truth stood downcast in the lie In chasing their personal wealth They’d ruin our homes and our health Markets profit from our burden They’ll claim the facts are not certain The truth stood downcast in the lie Until waters began to rise We must fight to make change on Earth For the sake of all she has birthed And into the light we might guide The truth stood downcast in the lie
