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?
