#COP26 #UnitedNations #Glasgow
I watched the news today
they say the worlds getting warmer
they say the seas are rising
and if we don’t do something soon
its going to get worse
today
I watched the news today
the great people of the world
discussing how to save the earth
while traders around the globe
sell stripped resources
you buy for the latest luxury
today
I watched the news today
that computer and flat screen TV
that was saved from the landfill
is being broken down for the copper
and heading back to the market
today
I watched the news today
they’ve pulped those paper food cartons
and plastic straws
sending them miles away
so you can buy them back as pencil toppers
toys and erasers in a fast food place
today
I watched the news today
eviction notices issued
to everything living by forest, sea and land
big business say – they’ve got something planned
and as the cities rise up – it’ll look grand
except where the trees and plants used to stand
today
