This Is What the Future Looks Like
May 21, 2019
we can change
that’s a lie
we are careless
trees
gone
despair
fish
gone
plastic
profit
not
the planet
ISIS
instead of
the arctic ice
ourselves
not
the ocean
disease
not
trees
it’s too late
you will never hear me say
there is hope
coral reefs
we turned them to
colorless graveyards
what we see in money
is far more beautiful than
what we see in mountains
this is our future
we can turn this around
that’s a lie
this is the end
(now read it backwards, from the bottom up)
