Earth Day

Dear earthlings,

Everyone knows about climate change , but  are you aware that this phenomenon is a real crisis which touches the entire planet ? And maybe you too tomorrow ? Indeed you know that glaciers are melting? But who cares about that ? What's the connection with us ? Climate change makes a lot of damage all around the world in California, Australia, The Maldives, Canada … Climate change can make access to hot water very difficult and even in places that aren't necessarily poor, somewhere in California, a family takes showers with buckets of hot water. Climate change creates unsustainable heat waves and that is why some people don't come to work, and it's bad for the economy . Climate change makes the water level rise and some citizens have to leave in order not to be overwhelmed by water.

A speech for the environment

Hello my fellow classmates,

I am standing here in front of you to talk about a subject that we all should be concerned about. I want to talk about : climate change !

I want to show you that climate change is real, is important. It is not to late and we still can change our future. We all do things that pollute but it is in our way of living.

I know, my friends, that you imagine a great and safe future for you and your family.

We don’t want to see our world disappear and live more natural disasters because of our habits. And for all these reasons I want you to be conscious about what you do.

Take your bicycle or walk to reduce CO2 emission, use more green power.

I have a dream that one day our planet will find their ressources back. We all want to live in a healthier world to see our children live safe and happily. We don’t want to move from our houses, our countries, or even our planet ! Do you really want to leave everything ? No I don’t think so. That’s why I wish you would take action on climate change and « make our planet great again ! » , and let our children see the world like we see it or even better. Let them see the beauty of nature.

I hope I will make you think.

Thank you for listening to me !

Dream on the Beach

Crawling like a worm over bleached white bones

Trying to reach a dream long gone

So close yet so far away

What is this whisper telling me there is no hope?

Yet still, the dream, it rules me

Blinded by this burning light with none around

Hating my reward, blooding my sustenance

The water gently touching my fingers; there is no escaping it

Yet stil, the dream, it rules me

A ship closing the distance

It then fades away like paper; is there still a chance?

Yet still, the dream, it rules me

Numbness is seizing my mind, under this blazing sun

This ever so distant utopia, should I let it go?
