Today I have written a poem which is based on gut feelings. I want to encourage everyone to take a breath and use their voices at a time where sensible, level voices need to be heard over angry ones.
Take a breath and ponder,
All the crazy in the world.
The last time I thought about it,
My fingers and toes curled.
But think about it nonetheless
And try and take it in.
The world needs clever thinkers
To ensure changes can begin.
A lot of things are thoughtless
Knee jerk reactions cause most wars.
Pollution comes from thoughtlessness
Meanwhile Antarctic ice shelves thaw.
As anger drives decisions
And feelings drive divide.
You need to take a moment
And carefully decide.
Will you sit and watch the chaos
And allow for things to spin?
Or will you make a choice to fight
To turn a corner with a grin?
Only clever thinking
Will help to steady the divisions.
Political clear thinking
And some really tough decisions.
So vote for those who care
About society at large.
Don’t allow the ignorants
To easily take charge.
Think about the climate
As it steadily decays.
Use you voice and thinking
To make a difference. Don’t delay.
