People Over Politics, World Over Wealth

Saw a woman in a leopard-print jacket,
old and slouching along the corridor, the
open space which leads to more possible
coats. Zebra prints ,with alligator purses,
faux, of course, these days, as it should be.

Who’ll say how much damage we’ve done
and whether our weather it is irreversible?
I think it’s simply a question of deciding.
Shall we, then, shed our greed, our ennui,
choose to change as an entire species, now.

What could resist the direction of eight
billion people all pushing life one way?
Thought the rich and greedy will never
agree, they are such a small percentage
of Earth’s population, they’ll be unable

to change the outcome, with the numbers
in our favor. Why do we think we have no
power? Everything could change instantly.
Now, each and every moment is different.
Please, weigh this choice and its alternative
