Explain a Green World To a Child by Sonni Quick published on 2022-04-05T02:08:17Z Explain a green world to a child who has never played in the grass Explain how it sounds to hear a bird sing That flies through the sky in the wild Explain the sound of a babbling brook With sweet wind as it blows through the trees Lay in the grass and watch the clouds pass Feeling happy, so lazy and free. My grandchildren cried when I said, "Go outside," as they clutched their phones in their hands Playing meant games, addicted to screens Play outside? I don't understand Their memories of childhood, how will they explain When playing outside was remembered as pain I'm glad I'll be gone. I won't have to know What the world was like when the food wouldn't grow So many are waiting for somebody else To wake up and fix the mess that was made Who cares if the children are hungry and poor You had to give birth since clinics locked doors Who cares if the storms, the fires and drought Destroyed their homes and made them afraid The rich need more money, corporations say, "Climate change is here to stay." The wars, the bombs, refugees fleeing Leaving their family by the side of the road Thank God it isn't us, we say Fox News tells us every night and day We think we are safe if truth be told God will save the religious right Leave all others out in the cold Stupidity has the largest price to pay When the bees are gone and the birds stop singing When the oceans are dead, only trash on the beach We sucked out the life the world had to give Only corpses of the dead now beneath our reach We struggle to breathe, no healthcare for all No backyards to play in, fading stars in the sky Teach the children about green grass Dreams to all.
