To Our Leaders

STo our leaders,

To our leaders,

Please don’t read this, and shrink back,

Or put up your defenses.

Please know that this letter,

Doesn’t come from a place of hate,

Or a place of ‘Us versus Them’.

It’s time to end the war,

Of the people versus the system.

What the world truly needs,

Is no more separation.

For too long, this society,

Has played the blame game.

We blame politicians,

For not changing legislation.

We blame companies

For continuing to exploit the resources.

We blame the people,

For not making conscious choices.

Whilst we bicker and blame,

And protest for change,

The earth carries on turning,

Melting and burning.

It’s time to stop searching,

For someone to shame.

We all have a responsibility,

To make a change.

We all have a part to play,

In this survival game.

We all have the same goal,

So lets begin today.

Governments,

Look at the resources you have.

The power of legislation,

The opportunity to bring

Countries together.

You have been honoured,

An incredible gift,

We put our faith in you,

To create a system,

For a united nation.

Corporations,

Look at your blueprints,

And look at your plans.

Realise that the future industry,

Is in your hands.

There’s no doubt that

You’re some of the smartest people

So we know you have the knowledge,

To make a difference.

The products you sell,

And the resources you extract,

Shape how people,

Live their lives.

There’s no need to compromise,

On your capital gain,

But change your ideas,

To enter this new game.

The good news for you,

Is that people love to consume.

So lets strategise,

And create a new,

Business movement.

To the people,

Every day, your choices

are in your hands.

Feel grateful that we

Are in a position to choose.

Have faith in your personal power

To do good to the Earth.

Simply by being alive,

You are changing the world.

You control the governments,

The corporations,

And the world around you.

Take action now,

To change your life.

One less piece of plastic a day,

One less car journey,

One less aerosol.

This is how,

We change the world,

Day by day,

Step by step.

So when you read this letter,

Know that it is not a call to fight,

But a call to unite.

We are entering a new world,

And we all have a part to play.

Each of us has the power,

To pave the way.
