Full Collective Poem Text
Wake up. (@connect4climate)
Look around
and within (@legospacewoman).
It’s time.
It's time for the road less traveled to
become the busiest. (@env_reform)
It’s time for nature,
for healing (@owlynch)
and harmony, (@owlynch)
for caring (@jade_con.giu)
and reflection, (@inesfootprints, @theliquidgoldproject, @EmmaLewins)
for blue skies
and clear water,
for birds in bushes
and on bench backs. (@karinfishergolton)
Survival is on the line.
Time is running out. (@ailsachristine_)
Remember from whence you came. (@legospacewoman)
Otherwise we don’t stand a chance. (@legospacewoman)
If we bare the blame, we must be the remedy (@calliebroaddus)
Not yours, not mine. (@sainath.sahana)
Ours. (Sainath Sahana)
Wake up. (@jodaenfluence)
It’s time.
We must act, and push forward (@barbisimoes)
We must rise to the challenge (@calliebroaddus)
We must stand together, (@theBeatit1)
stop and listen,
so we can remember how to speak. (@tobias_shaw)
We must protect what has protected us.
Her time is now. (@sevenvests)
It was always her place first. (@sakshi09rawat)
We owe her everything. (@c.ostanza)
We must reseed ourselves (@celine.cunha)
so we can return Mother’s breath pure (@celine.cunha)
We must unfurl the pride of ego (@_california_seoul)
so we can bask in her gaze again. (@_california_seoul)
All of us, me and you. (@faithcfchibonga)
Wake up. (@jodaenfluence)
It’s time.
It’s time for nature,
time for the uneasy undoing of what we have done,
of the oceans blue again
And in its rise, we’ll part aside just as the water ebbed
for us.
Only the earth knows what
it knows:
We must move as it tells us to.
So we can hold ourselves worthy in its space. (@anniening)
