Can you stare into my eyes

and declare you haven't thought

about the fate of the future?

Can you look me in the face

and say the race to save the planet

is already lost?

Do you feel you lack the speed

and that it's easier to concede

than to be crusaders?

Are you scared to raise your hand

and stand beside me

to fight the battle?

Does every pleading word I write

merely light up a candle

for those about to die?

If I beg you on my knees

will you please raise your arm

and speak out about the harm

that continues day by day

and try to stop it?
