Greenpeace- Angry Kid

The scientific community released a report
that proves, beyond a doubt,
that the Earth is getting warmer.
This global warming is caused by things
you grown-ups do
and by the things you don't.
If drastic measures aren't taken soon,
by the time I grow up
there won't be any fish left in the sea,
rainforests and clean air will be a thing of the past.
The polar ice caps will be gone,
oceans will rise,
entire countries will disappear.
Life will change,
in ways you can't even imagine.
It could be famine,
wordlwide epidemics,
life expectancy will be lower,
And we're not just talking about the future.
we're talking about MY future.
But this is no surprise,
you adults have known about this for years.
You know you could have done something about it,
but you haven't.
You can say: "It's not my problem",
you can say: "I won't be around in fifty years",
but from now on,
you can't say: "I didn't know"
Starting today, the lines are drawn.
You have the two sides.
Either you're for my future,
or you're against it.
You're a friend,
or you're an enemy.
I may just be a kid today,
but tomorrow will be different.
This is the last time I'll be talking to you, adults.
You've had your chance to fix this problem,
now we have ours.
We won't be cute,
we won't be patronized,
and we will not be denied our future.
