Greta brings inspiration

She is young and she is articulate

She is personable and she is passionate 

She is doing everything she can to raise consciousness 

To mobilize people to act in a time of climate crisis. 

She feels the fierce urgency of now

To build a political movement that doesn't exist yet

To be open to the need for a complete system change 

To make sure that equity is integral to the solution. 

Calling out those who are sacrificing our civilization 

For the opportunity of a very small number of people

To continue making enormous amounts of money

Pointing out the opposition as the capitalist class. 

Calling out those who are sacrificing our biosphere 

So that rich people in countries like hers can live in luxury 

Paid for by the suffering of the many

Pointing out her alignment with the oppressed.

Speaking truth to power as only the young can do

Telling it like it is expressing righteous indignation

She demands an end to all forms of denial:

How dare you conduct business as usual!

At the beginning of the sixth mass extinction

The young people are starting to understand their betrayal

Waking up to see that their dreams have been stolen 

Knowing that change is coming whether you like it or not.
