Our baseline has changed: Cycles of nature have been broken Extinctions occur which cannot be reversed: We must realise what is at stake. We have overturned what was stable And are faced with collapse. Boundaries have been set anew and We’re slowly grasping what has been lost. It’s not like a chair which has fallen over And can be put back up again More like a felled tree which No amount of regret Will ever restore to life. We are passing pivotal points Tipping systems beyond recall We are rushing to the brink Uncertain of what will soon unfold. |
