Flint
lights fires in our hearts
because the people suffer
without clean water
shores rising
from Florida to India
uniting the world
through fear
plastic flows
down the coast
carried by the waves
why must the waves carry
what was too heavy for us to hold
as ice caps melt
and polar bears left withered
time ticks by
as rain falls
and snow blankets the ground
time ticks by
as time ticks by
there will be no more
clean water
to fall
