The Guardian

Arctic sea ice evaporated
    our reflective shield gone
        oceans rising
            global flooding forecast
                bye-bye real-estate

Our weather changed forever
    our seasons treasoned
        our very existence held hostage
            to our own wanton behaviour

We cannot leave it to governments alone
    we must rage with primordial ferocity
        focus with laser accuracy
            cease the waste of war
                and direct all our resources
                    to combat global warming

Relinquish carbon trading
    the capitalist cloak of shifting responsibility
        and adopt real measures of sustainability

We must individually and collectively
    become the guardians of our planet
        not just custodians
            but active guardians
                with total commitment

Otherwise
    in a very short time
        we will no longer look to the stars
            we will no longer see the oceans
                we will no longer share the earth
                    with our fellow animal and plant species

We will cease to be
    no longer will clouds grace the sky
        or rivers flow by mountains
            no longer will we feel the caress of love
                the gentle touch of rain on our faces
                    or see the sweet innocence in a baby's eyes

I call upon our heritage
    our noblest natures
        our collective will to survive as a species
            on all nations and individuals
                to become THE GUARDIAN
