it's 3:23 in the morning
and I'm awake
because my great great grandchildren
won't let me sleep
my great great grandchildren
ask me in dreams
what did you do while the planet was plundered?
what did you do when the earth was unraveling?
Words have power. And these are powerful words.
I am not the only one who think so. Recently a congresswoman quoted the poem during Congressional hearings on climate change legislation.
