Greed Less


I remember my first college class,

Learning about the sadness in the world 

Timber is a renewable resource

Biodiversity isn't. What about the

Endangered species? No

One cares- greed can be only be

Satisfied by greed. 

 

Still optimistic- why is climate 

Change still a debate? 

 

I want to create lasting change-

How? When I am perfectly average.

 

Dream of the future so

I clean up the mess of my ancesters.
