How can we see?

 

Oh how I've seen the
flowers and the trees
fall down as rain.
Oh in my defense
I wasn't sure if this was
contaminated again.
As the methane from the cows
and the lithium from the
mines in Africa. Did
the dog eat the bat or
did it eat the pangolin?
How do we se what we cannot see
How can we feel what we cannot feel
Is as swift as I put my two feet
on the grass or in concrete.
Yet I remember...
That we all build this atmosphere,
as we chew that chunk of meat,
as the hummingbird puts its beak
on the oil spill in Yasuní.
We are all some China's factory.
How do we se what we cannot see
How can we feel what we cannot feel
Is as swift as I put my two feet
on the grass or in concrete.
Yet I remember...
That the skyscrapers
break down the shelters
of the poor who breathe
all the toxins from the cars
and the plastic in the sea.
It might take a thousand years
Could we save the coral reefs?
Could we change the way we think?
Could we enforce the politics
on the biggest companies?

Oh...
