Poetry list
three earths short
the sum of
our civilisation
is flawed
we live beyond
our means
and exhaust
the earth
that is never
ours just a
gift for a
while
if we dare
share our
present comfort
with the dying
needy world
we are three
earths short
of resources
the sum
cannot lie
however we
frame it
progress is
found in less
and wisdom
and compassion
in cost and
sacrifice
the time is
short and
there is only
one earth
imagine that
before it is
too late
we don’t
need this
so true
give away
give up
give
