Vote-In An Urgent Transition
In gov Fed and state too the red and the blue
Fight each other to the bitter end,
Polarization has stifled the nation
Zero compromise message they send.
Situation is fraught because one side’s been bought
By fossil fuel companies who claim,
The science is wrong and the climate is strong
Lower energy prices their aim.
Issues that demand a bipartisan plan
They often get lost in the fray,
‘Till people start dying, then some start trying
To open their minds a new way, can be done,
To open their minds a new way.
Read the science! Ignore the reliance
On red and blue party position,
We’ve precious little time, use this message in rhyme
Vote-In an Urgent Transition, each and all,
Vote-In an Urgent Transition!
