   Facing Us
Words fall on deaf ears.
How hard the task of
Breaking old habits
And engraining new ones.

How can we bend the curve
Turn around and reject
Imperatives of growth,
Topple a system which
Treats our world as
A show of resources
Ours for the taking.

We see what is looming
But stand motionless at
What is rolling towards us.
What change can each of us make
What shift can we bring about?
Despondent and distressed at the
Magnitude of what is facing us.
