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
