Explain This

Explain this to our children's children and try to make them see;

Polar Bears did not seem fragile and the coral was such a bore;

Our footprints hardly counted, we had no ways to change;

The only ice that mattered would clink at cocktail hour.

Who will tell their children, when the earth begins to drowned,

That from her tears we turned and forsook her dying ground?

They will understand why. They will say "Our Grandparents did us no harm"

Yes, of course they will.

Because our grandchildren will be so much more forgiving than us.

The hour is very late, and the task is overdue. Can we give them a different message?

Can we say for them we changed?
