Poet: "Let's planetize the movement"

Thursday, 22 November 2007

In the moments of doubt, the moments of futility where the odds seem impossible, words from artists like Drew Dellinger , Poet, Professor and Activist, can speak to us on a deep level. The narratives that activists, business people, students, consumers, builders, and all sorts of other types of artists create a future that will either be a better future or a future with an end in environmental death. What a choice, eh?

 

Here is an excerpt of a recent poem that he read at the Be the Change Conference, London, UK

 

hieroglyphic stairway

it's 3:23 in the morning
and I'm awake
because my great great grandchildren
won't let me sleep
my great great grandchildren
ask me in dreams
what did you do while the planet was plundered?
what did you do when the earth was unraveling?...
