Today, in NYC
And all around the world
The People’s march
For Climate, for
The world
That we live in
For the children
To whom we will leave it
For the living beings
That need to breathe
And feed
And grow.
One march
One purpose
In New York City
In Paris, London, Amsterdam
Sidney, Stroud, Zurich
Genoa, Rio, Rome
Melbourne, Munich
Brussel, Brisbane, Berlin
New Delhi, Kathmandu, Canberra
Huddersfield, The Hague, Hyderabad.
A People’s march
For the climate
For the blue marble
That holds us all together
On its surface
And that we must hold dear to
In our doings
In our hearts.
Thank you for poetically and beautifully marking this amazing event! Such an important time for our planet and a much bigger turnout in NYC than even the organizers hoped. Buddhist monks and nuns, college students, brokers, working men and women, children, seniors, labor unions, Native Americans, celebrities, environmental heroes, and even the Secretary General of the United Nations put feet to pavement to commit to addressing climate change. If not now, when?

Amen, indeed. If not now, when? And for our children, the earth, and all its inhabitants, now is well past time, and yet perchance exactly in time enough! 🙂
