Happy 50th Anniversary EARTH DAY!

50 years ago, after a photo
Of our pale blue home
Young & old organized
To work to protect OUR world
Since; human population has doubled
Oil & gas are still fracking
CO2 levels are still rising
Dictators, tyrants & fools
Greed & war still rules
Plastic fills our seas
Food is modified in labs
Women & kids still abused
Same old excuses still used
Religious zealots still deny
Reality & science
Surveillance & thought control
Easy with online troll
Food waste grows
While unplanned kids starve
Gun sales continue to soar
Virus affects, more & more
Instead of being world leader
US labors under idiot tweeter
Yet, still our world, lovely from space
Less so, down on the surface
And, Earth still doesn't need saving
Planet does not care
About 7.8 billion puny humans
But, we better care
50 years of warnings
Still we ignore the signs
For the old days we pine
THE OLD DAYS ARE GONE
Every day, every spin
Another day of change
We are so not ready
For the changes coming
Keep looking back
Future slapping us in the face
So, now we pollute space
Same old rules ALWAYS apply
ADAPT, MIGRATE OR DIE
Today On Earth Day

Good sign, Prez going out
Hope virus will take him out
And, fools that believe his lies
Sad to be wishing folks die
But, without his voters alive
Rest of us, better chance to survive!
Today On Earth Day
So, everyone with a clue
Here's what ya gotta do
Be smart
Stay home
Stay apart!
