Earth Day Plea to the Gods

Earth Day Plea To the Gods

Oh, Gaia
Earth goddess
I plead with you

To take action
To make our leaders aware
That the time for talk is over

That we must do what we must
To stop climate change
In its tracks

To prevent the world
From entering a death spiral
Making it uninhabitable

The time is late
But it is not late
To avert such a dismal fate

That is my plea
On this earth day.
