Before believing it’s helpful
For kids to skip school for the climate
Consider the wisdom level
That surely must be behind it
If I’d been an activist at 16
I would have made your head spin
As leader of an airtight regime
Based on the songs of Led Zeppelin
Why not speak truth to power
With a snack over your lunch hour?
How about you teach us
After afternoon recess?
Or a bake sale
So you don’t fail
Out of school?

Sentiments are not necessarily shared by everyone at Quillette.
And then when I turned 27,
I realized all t’was controlled by Heaven.
Now Life’s a breeze,
and not a disease,
Not subject to some butterfly’s sneeze.
There, I finished it for you
🙂
The song remains the same.
Ha!
Kids come home from school
they tell me what’s hot and what’s cool
many assemblies where yobs like Bill Nye
announce end-of-world news with hue and cry
union teachers rant ‘fake news’, hate on Trump
they tell kids Greens and NDP need a vote bump
I look forward to October election
pray that voters make a better selection
than a trust-fund surfer who never worked
who went to India and was filmed as he twerked
maybe then we can make our own oil
and take globalist rhetoric off from the boil
we need to put Canada back together again,
make immigrants assimilate, and stop hating men.
