Maybe we still can save the planet

Life is walking away from us all

this world is not big enough to hold on us and all we desire

Happiness is back to shadow, and sun is not shining as it used to

My daughter shows me the clouds while waiting for my answer

God knows I can’t tell her what time it is

Her life has just started……………

I just wonder how I still can live with myself knowing how frighten she was in that moment

asking why they are burning the planet

I tightened my grip around her tiny hand

and hold on her courage to confess the truth to her shadow

That there never been them, it’s us doing the harm

It’s us giving life to the fire, it's us living for today with no faith on tomorrow

I still hear her in my mind, asking me over and over again

“Can’t we just stop this madness mum?”

Maybe I could stretch the time line or find a way to turn the clock back just for her

may be we should all do that,

maybe the answer is a trip back to the time we wanted less but felt more

maybe we still can save this planet
