12 Prove Our Love

Saying
We care
Is not enough.

We
Speak volumes
In the way

We
Nurture her,
Abuse her, protect

Her,
And disregard
Her cries for

Our
Own selfish
Convenience. One day

She
Will no
Longer be able

to
fight her
own Fight: Wildfires,

Droughts,
Melting icecaps,
Loss of species.

It’s
now left
To us to

Face
All the
Ways we have

Harmed
Her. It
isn’t our children’s.

Responsibility.
If I
Want alpenglow, vermillion,

Violet
Sunsets over
Crystal clear waters,

I
Will pledge
Her honor now.

Volunteer.
Plant a
Tree. Conserve energy.
