To the Editor,
Carbon, coal and oil
Must be left in the soil.
This is the jingle
Of the student climate crisis signal.
The nuclear bomb does not belong
In any civilized realm;
This is the prioritized wisdom
Of the present student kingdom.
The whole wide-world is blessed By the youth conscience so possessed.
Those in retirement have the leisure
To advance the human adventure.
We believe democracy is nice;
Can’t be preserved, like food, on ice;
Will take all to realize democratic paradise;
Its infrasructure will suffice.
So let us resolve to protect –
Nae, our mutual communication to perfect –
One person one note –
Until it becomes rote instead of remote.
Robert Johnson
