Climate change clanging, clattering choir by Marian Casillas, Ed.D.

 

With thanks to the song: Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer

 

You know Al Gore and Robert Redford and Prince Harry and Meghan,
Jane Fonda and Whoopi Goldberg and Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio.
But did you know?

Now there’s the most famous climate change activist of all.
Her name is Greta Thunberg

And she’s the teenage-star from Sweden,

Who has a very shiny star,
And if you ever saw it
You would see how bright it glows.

All of the other climate change activists
Are nothing in comparison to her.

There is adulation galore for her alone.
Everyone wants to be close to her
And have her join in their climate change games.

Then one foggy Christmas Eve,

Because fog is caused by climate change,

Don’t you know that’s true, you fool;
All the children throughout the world

Pleaded with her and demanded:
“Greta, with your star so bright
Won't you guide this world tonight,

And have the foggy night dissipate;

So Santa can bring us all our fabulous gifts tonight”

Then how the children and celebrities loved her

As they shouted out with glee:
“Greta with your star so bright
You'll go down in history

As being the world’s greatest

Climate change activist,

That cleared away the Christmas Eve fogginess

That kept the light-on and the world spinning,

So that Santa could find his way

Throughout the world and spread not good cheer

But the doom and gloom of climate crisis.

If we don’t all change our ways

And do what all the climate change activists

Tell us we must do in order to save the world,

From imminent danger and destruction

Of our killing the planet and all of us dying!”

Since they are the privileged class,

They fly in their airplanes spewing carbon emissions,

Yet demand we all must ride buses.

They live in mansions on sprawling acreages of land,

Yet want us to live in crowded compounds.

They live in the lap of luxury,

While they demand we must suffer and sacrifice,

All for the sake of saving the planet instead of saving our souls!

Living somewhere in this great, big, beautiful planet we call earth, created by God, which will end when God deems the world to end, on the divinely designated day, not a day sooner or a day later.

And then the climate will be forever perfect in heaven or forever pitiful in hell, and it won't be because we didn't recycle or because we used gas burning stoves.
