To the young people we apologize
For the climate we gave you, please know we tried.
The first Earth Day was 1970,
Bald eagles were an endangered species.
9 years old, our role models were hippies,
Demanding clean water, air & world peace.
We listened to James Hansen at NASA,
1988 he warned disaster.
We got behind electric vehicles,
Supported alternative energies,
Reclaimed, repurposed, reused, recycled,
Proclaimed & promoted such great ideas.
But now as our generation retires
here comes the thunder, here come the fires.
