For this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And that wouldn\u2019t make me so sad,<br \/>if there weren\u2019t so many pictures of leaves on it.<br \/>You know when I was a child,<br \/>I read how the Native Americans had such consideration,<br \/>for the planet that they felt responsible,<br \/>for how they left the land for the next 7 generations.<br \/>Which brings me great sorrow, because most of us today,<br \/>don\u2019t even care about tomorrow.<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.davidmarinelli.net\/blog\/the-moral-crisis-of-our-time\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">So I\u2019m sorry, I\u2019m sorry that we put profit over people,<\/a><br \/>greed over need, the rule of gold above the golden rule.<br \/>I\u2019m sorry we used nature as a credit card with no spending limit.<br \/>Over drafting animals to extinction,<br \/>stealing your chance to ever see their uniqueness,<br \/>or become friends with them.<br \/>Sorry we poison the ocean so much that you can\u2019t even swim in them.<br \/>But most of all, i\u2019m sorry about our mindset,<br \/>cause we had the nerve to call this destruction,<br \/>\u201cProgress\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hey Fox News, if you don\u2019t think climate change is a threat.<br \/>I dare you to interview the thousands of homeless people in Bangladesh,<br \/>see while you was in your penthouse nestled,<br \/>their homes were literally washed away<br \/>beneath their feet due to the rising sea levels,<br \/>and Sara Palin, you said that you love the smell of fossil fuels,<br \/>well I urge you to talk to the kids of Beijing<br \/>who are forced to wear pollution masks just to go to school.<br \/>See, you can ignore this, but the thing about truth is,<br \/>it can be denied, not avoided.<br \/>So I\u2019m sorry future generation,<br \/>I\u2019m sorry that our footprints became a sinkhole and not a garden.<br \/>I\u2019m sorry that we paid so much attention to ISIS,<br \/>and very little how fast the ice is melting in the arctic.<br \/>I\u2019m sorry we doomed you<br \/>and I\u2019m sorry we didn\u2019t find another planet in time to move to.<br \/>I am s\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You know what, cut the beat, I\u2019m not sorry.<br \/>This future I do not accept it,<br \/>because an error does not become a mistake,<br \/>until you refuse to correct it.<br \/>We can redirect this, how?<br \/>Let me suggest that if a farmer sees a tree that is unhealthy,<br \/>they don\u2019t look at the branches to diagnosis it,<br \/>they look at the root, so like that farmer,<br \/>we must look at the root,<br \/>and not to the branches of government,<br \/>not to the politicians run by corporations.<br \/>We are the root, we are the foundation, this generation,<br \/>it is up to us to take care of this planet.<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.davidmarinelli.net\/blog\/ocean-life-support-system\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">It is our only home, we must globally warm our hearts<\/a><br \/>and change the climate of our souls<br \/>and realize that we are not apart from nature,<br \/>we are a part of nature.<br \/>And to betray nature is to betray us,<br \/>to save nature, is to save us.<br \/>Because whatever you\u2019re fighting for:<br \/>Racism, Poverty, Feminism, Gay Rights,<br \/>or any type of Equality.<br \/>It won\u2019t matter in the least,<br \/>because if we don\u2019t all work together to save the environment,<br \/>we will be equally extinct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
