A spoken word for planet earth ...
Capitalism vs people

lyrics

The March Is On
Capitalism brought us here to the wastelands of greed
The limitless power of the 1% Leaves footprints of destruction
The air is toxic and the seas are poisoned
We trespass on mother earth with a wilful indifference
Screaming profit, money, GDP and growth
But the market will not save us
This end of history will be the end of us
Free trade scorches earth policies of
Deregulation, austerity and privatisation
Each day brings mass extinctions, floods, draughts, superstorms and so many hurricanes we have run out of alphabet
If not you, then who
If not now, then when
The march is on
This is the time of racist dictators
Hellbent on tearing up protections and regulations
Pouring money in to ever more dangerous pursuits of profit
Fracking, arctic drilling and tar sands extraction
Bolsanaro's deforestation of the Amazon chokes the lungs of the planet
Trump’s climate change deniers paid for by fossil fuel polluters
From Kyoto to Copenhagen, Rio to Paris agreements are made and then ignored
As the waters rise there will be no more Venice and New Orleans
Floods from Ireland to Bangladesh
Wildfires from Australia to America
Heat waves from Greece to Canada

If not you, then who
If not now, then when
The march is on
Climate change hits the poorest people hardest
While 100 fossil fuel producers are responsible to 70% of global emissions
The nexus of power and money
Corporate government is a revolving door for fossil fuel gangsters, politicians and the mass media
This has made the 99% look into our souls
Creating a global mass movement of planetary defenders
From extinction rebellion to first nation warriors
Civil disobedience and protest brings us here today
With love in our hearts and determination in our souls
Brothers and sisters we march as one
We rise as one from every corner of the globe
From AOC's green new deal to Greta Thunberg’s school strikes
With Naomi Klein's words
We will rise with peace and love
We are rebels for life

If not you, then who
If not now, then when
The march is on
