Business as usual is no longer tenable

That “belevolent” large company of my parents’ generation
Is now a vortex sucking in vast amounts of
people, money, animals, plants, oil, minerals, energy

Now
facing a climate emergency
with politics fragmented
and society struggling to keep the heart

We can no longer accept business as usual
We can no longer look the other way

For those embracing change.
For those seeking a better future
and wanting to take part.
Speaking truth to power,
Bringing compassion
Careful of others and earth;
