Unremembering Earth

Is that why

We are burning fossil fuels

Like never before?

The thought of unremembering our only home,

This planet,

Is beyond incomprehensible.

We cut trees,

Which makes wildfires wilder,

The corals paler and bleached,

A nation sinking in the Pacific,

And at the Antarctic,

Penguins would soon be homeless—

What a tragedy!

We can’t just unremember Earth,

And leave the future of our children

To oblivion.
