Density of Trees

Climate change where should you be?
Seeking food and shelter?
The presence of a river, the density of trees?
How many will cross the river?
The was a forest here, long before these trees.
It takes a forest to give shelter to the trees.

So, Climate Change exists,
Is this an apocalypse? Is this a prophesy?
From denial to surrender,
Has it come to this?
Is this world so broken,
We think it can’t be fixed?

The presence of a river, the density of trees,
Is this the conversation when SHTF?
This is not a video, not fake reality,
Being on your own, a hero with no plan?
Presence of a river makes a community,
Do you see a forest, or the density of trees?

So Climate Change is here,
How do we protect the earth?
Why think back 10,000 years?
Are you feeling scared?
Striking rocks to make a fire?
Look to where humanity has not harmed this world.
Seeking food and shelter? That is how we survive.
