"Sharing" for our future
A soft chill bites at her fingers as she types her outrage
Ready to share it with the world.
Her gaze shifts to the ripples bouncing across the water,
They call out to her to use her power
Use her power to create change.
And with that she presses ‘share’.
She stands at the front of a diverse community of people
Words in their hands, full of indignation.
Millions of phones capture this sensation,
Sharing it with the world.
Giving other people the chance to fight
Fight for the environment, people and the future.
The opinions of those that disagree
Attack her for her age, gender, education.
They try to kill her voice for their own defence
Worrying more about their pride than their home.
But she will not give them the satisfaction of her fury
Instead she’ll show them the strength of her smile
She stands in front of billions
Fighting for the rights of the earth they live on.
She will not stop until there is change
Until there is evidence of change.
And as videos of her are being seen, spread and shared across the world
She can feel the change begin.
