Thought for the day - Wordle 11/6

An area the size of a football pitch disappears in one fell swoop.
The land, now dappled with trees is being destroyed.
It’s like waving a magic wand - swish - it’s gone.
Who’s holding the wand?
That’s the question.

It seems that the businessmen only care for money.
They don’t care for the air they pollute.

It’s true they burn the forests, the homes of many;
But it is us, the consumer
Who reignites the flame.

We don’t start the fires,
Burn the forests to the ground
And let the peatlands emit their Co2 into the air.

But we do set off the bomb,
Hidden in its shell on the shopping shelf.

We live in a delirium,
Where a strident path towards justice
Has little significance.

From the pleated suit to the plaited hair;
The businessman to the tree-hugger,
We must all be aware;
Take care.
