BACK THEN those who resisted & bravely persisted:
For a ‘just vision’
they lost their jobs
landed in prison
beaten by mobs
Cruelly confined
gruesomely grilled
majorly maligned
some even killed
Still courageous & strong
stood against what was wrong
*
WHILE NOW in these splendid times:
Such actions quaint
would involve restraint
might make us faint
so favor complaint
Habitat we extirpate
while keep slapping high-five
from duties we abdicate
while Species takes nosedive!
What?! Slowing global warming
through ‘personal’ action?
Few, despite plenty warning
seem adjust one fraction
In these thrilling times ‘morality’
suffers high rate of mortality
