It all starts as a flu,
slows down life
and makes us realize
our human side.
“It is not enough,”
says Greta
to the leaders
of the European Union
“Not enough”
“Not enough”
for the measures to be taken,
by the leaders
of nations.
There comes
Corona Virus.
Now there is silence.
Silence…
Earth has its own
intelligence…
Kilometers of pipeline
planned to be built,
to carry oil,
extracted from soil.
Hundreds of cruise ships,
each holding thousands of passengers,
polluting water,
generating electricity
with oil,
extracted from soil.
Hands were shaken,
for the factories,
mines,
pipelines,
land,
to extract resources.
Ministers of Health,
now announce:
“No handshakes”
due to the virus.
Silence…
Earth has its own
intelligence…
“Not enough measures”,
says Greta,
who sailed between continents
to show her commitment
for the climate change.
Leaders
don’t hear,
don’t want to hear.
Now people are taking measures,
for corona virus.
Not for the climate change,
that melts glaciers.
Millions of liters
of oil
are now not needed.
Millions of people
are isolated.
Silence…
Earth has its own
intelligence…
