Lament For GretaLAMENT FOR GRETA
Her reaction was spontaneous as of youth
With emotion’s certainty near tangible
Sought to patronize and brook no other truth
Revelation that she knew must be infallible
Through the portal of the ether her word spread
She would navigate with skill above her league
Little known beyond fixation in...

Nature: This Greta Thunberg EquinoxToday a youth of the world stood up,
Stood up against fat money cats,
And stared them down with words made of real,
Accountable ecological facts,
About how the fat future of money is ending,
A future without any trees,
How mass extinction is occurring today,
With cash...

Greta ThunbergGreta Thunberg
you have a heart of gold
unfortunately, there are those
with a heart, that is cold
You stand up, for what is right
using your proud voice
that helps us all fight
the human destruction plight
You have the support of your family
as they back you up yearly
and you have support...

Ode To Wee GretaI'm sorry young lady your future has gone
Capitalism's done irreversible wrong
Not in my name, I shout from the roof top
I've been fighting the same fight,
Hoping one day it'll stop
Poison our food our water our air
Capitalism's the cause
Cause of despair
Profit before health
Is the capitalist way
Death creates...

Ode
Greta GarboGreta Garbo
by R.e. Taylor
I know you wish to be anonymous
To never be seen again
But the world will not allow that to happen
I know it may be presumptuous of me to say
At one time, you were a beauty beyond compare
A talent that anyone else would only...

An Ode To Greta ThunbergAn ode to Greta Thunberg
Where’s Greta Thunberg?
I’ve missed her daily rant
I guess she’s back in Sweden
outside a nuclear plant
Or is she content and satisfied
the CO levels are down
Or is she modelling in Vogue
her drabbest dressing gown?
Where is Greta Thunberg?
the world's a quieter...

Oh Greta, Dear GretaO Greta, dear Greta of Huskey Mountain Road,
If I loved you more, my heart would explode.
It has been a blessing to know you this year,
To watch you grow bigger and ever more dear.
I can’t hold a candle to love that is true,
A love that would...

Miss Greta GRegrettably, Miss Greta G
must use a broom to clean her room;
she let the pigs come play, you see
for they were neat, so she assumed.
How learned she this? Not clear by whom.
I think I may have, I confess,
so I shall help clean up the mess.
I think...

A Sonnet Variation For GretaThis run of good days is going to end
bad times are coming just around the bend
cash in your chips, there ain’t no tomorrow
future holds only worry and sorrow.
Armageddon of our own creation
as we burn in pyres of self-cremation
caught in words of convenient denial
grasp...

Make the World Greta AgainMake the world Greta again.
The world is on fire and you just sit there getting higher.
Inhaling the pollution, you are no solution.
Neither are you the answer, but you can change the question.
I call you a prancer, because you are dancing around the suggestion,
That this should...

Greta, a Child, WeepsGRETA WEPT
She wept but it wasn’t just crying
It was the kind of weeping that makes you feel her profound pain
He could not stand the tears in her oval eyes
But as a businessman he was late for a meeting
and had no time to soothe...

Greta My SweetGreta
Naked and raw
Real, laid bare
Speaking a truth
Not heard here
For thirty years
Greta
I once knew
Another like you
Young and now
I can only weep
For your return
However fleeting
Greta my sweet

Hans and GretaHans had been raised to believe you protect your woman at all costs
His father was a warrior king, and instilled this in him since his first dawn.
Today his ideals were hidden, squirreled away, possibly even a bit lost
As his wife-to-be jumped into the...
