The Rising Poem by Rohan De1

The Rising



I see the unquenchable thirst in Your eyes,
I see Your money and twisted lies. 

The Arctic You seek to plunder,
You know You're making a blunder.

Whilst the Arctic cries,
And the polar bear dies. 

You tear the poles asunder,
With Your fires and insatiable hunger. 

When will You realise,
In the Arctic You shall gain no prize. 

For We shall not slumber,
And We will not lumber. 

You may think You're wise,
But We shall show You otherwise. 

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
The oil giants have stripped the world of almost all it's resources. Now they wish to loot the last frontier, the Arctic. We can not allow this to happen. Would we give up without a fight if they tried to rob our homes? We can and we must Rise against the destruction of our world. It's not as if we can go shopping in another planet.
I dedicate this poem to Greenpeace. The have done a wonderful job resisting the corporate honchos. I wish them all the best in their future endeavours.
