Notes About The Poem

What will it take

What will it take?

People taking stock
admit their failings
try to redress the damage done
but it's too late ~

Our planet clearly violated
it's easy to see

Beyond shame and guilt
there's you and me

lots of individuals care, we need serious attention on a global basis if it's not too late ~
