Chatter Speech Screams

Anthropocene we know you will not pause 
Gears grind gung-ho, macho ideas win 
for now, drowning rains we debate the cause 
We callous conquerors turn from dark skin 

Elemental fury has me shaking 
Land ice is sweating to kill in cold blood 
The seas surge god like, human hearts aching 
Flood after flood after flood after flood 

The angry planet holds some special good 
You can hear it at the mouth of a brook 
Each tree has a tongue speaking for the wood 
The loose jaw of nature an endless book 

We have to realign, do something and weep 
Change is here, we are all called to leap
