Under your very eyes You squandered what you Should have handed down To those following you. We will look back in anger At what you did and failed to do. Those who have most care least. You put your wealth before Our well-being, your privilege Before our rights. There should be common ground Between old and young, between Those leaving and those coming Into the world. You are those kicking the can down the road. You are those throwing reason to the wind. Pretending not to see what needs to be done And causing those least to blame To suffer most. We told you to step back from the edge. But you preferred to watch the space remaining Shrink from day to day and have left us With the ghost of uncertainty Rippling through our lives. |
