Poetic preface

A call to action^[1]

Global corporations emitting profligate Carbon, like some empowered Brat
Growing, at a ridiculously alarming Rate
Spectators watching from the side-lines, as this turns to Heat
An increasingly heavy Heart
A young mother watching the latest glacier fracture, can barely take a Breath
Myriad catastrophes now, we can no longer Bear
Anger abounds, bordering on Hate
A feeling things could turn violent, in a Beat
CEOs jet to the Maldives while they can; sip Caipirinhas and Bathe
Politicians are blind to protestors’ chants; don’t want to Hear
Please talk. Like grownups. Before the fabric of Our space-time is pushed to Tear.
