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?
