Future generations, 

I’m sorry we ruined 

the beautiful place where we live.

I’m sorry that we leave our home 

with not a care

that we won’t be able 

to breath 

the air.

I’m sorry we cut down the

beautiful trees

and made the amazing bees

become endangered.

The glaciers are melting 

and countries are on fire.

While this is happening, 

the right-wing conservatives 

think we are liars. 

Temperatures are rising 

and everyone finds this surprising?
We need to take better care 

because there is no spare. 

We polluted the oceans 

so much that we looted

the coral reefs 

all because we had a misbelief.

A misbelief that our world wasn’t dying

but instead, we were thriving! 

Our ocean is filled with so much poison

because even the idea of not using 

plastic was so drastic. 

We took our home for granted

because we were handed this planet.

We never thought we would be the 

ones to drive animals to their extinction 

because we didn’t even see their uniqueness. 

We never feared 

that the atmosphere 

would reach a point where the sun 

was so close that it would turn us into toast. 

It was right under our nose, 

but I guess that’s how it goes.  

No one does anything until 

it is already going downhill. 

Our home needs our assistance 

because our existence depends 

on how this all ends.
