Who is that?
December 9, 2021
Who is that child in that photo
Running through the tall grass
Mouth open in a smile
Eyes twinkling jovially
Does he not see the problems?
The dead patch of grass there
The squirrel dead in a tree there
Up on the left, a large cloud of smoke from the 18 wheeler
The rapidly darkening skies
The smog and smoke of the city
So how is it that he is so carefree?
The world is dying
It's breaking and broken
Why aren't you?
Why am I?
