As I sit here thinking

I hear the rain fall down

So gently on the rooftop

There’s music in that sound

I think of all the people

That I’ve known throughout the years

I hear their voices calling

As I try to hold back tears

I think of little Jessie

With her brightly coloured bike

And the struggle that her parents had

To teach the little mite

They had no chance to teach her

Through the private schools those days

Because of Jeffry’s accident

That took away his pays

She’s now a great professor

Talking climate to us all

Trying to make us listen

Based on facts, she makes this call

If we don’t stop this nonsense

If we don’t heed her call

There will be no future for us

the species, most will fall

And then there’s Ben Tremacki

Who walked around the reef

Saying how much damage

It’s all beyond belief

He says "that as the energy

Gets sucked into the sea

Instead of leaving atmosphere

It energies me"

"I need to know the answer

Can the reef survive?

Will we see another day?

When this environment will revive"

And as I sit here thinking

I wonder why we teach

Our young ones to learn knowledge

If its ignorance we preach

Opinions matter not one bit

If facts show this crap

Will all come crashing down

If we don’t decide and act

So I write these thoughts of mine

But not to put away

But to show the general public

Just to vote to save the day.
