New poem for the #WISH20 campaign

 #WISH20

We’re living in hard times under the sun
The laws that protect us are coming undone
We’ve poisoned our land and we’ve blackened our soil
Paved the way for disaster with tarmac and oil

We can no longer live without thought to our fate
And it’s time to act now before it’s too late

So wish plenty for WISH20, make them with care
Wrap them in dreams, send them into the air
Because it’s clear in our atmosphere, it’s time to repair

George Orwell once said, “In times of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act”.

I say, in times of environmental defeat, a crime against peace is an evolutionary pact.

 

  Wish20 is a global citizens initiative which seeks to have Ecocide brought into law as a Crime Against Peace by 2020. This would sit alongside Genocide, Crimes against Humanity, War Crimes & the Crime of Aggression.

By signing the Wish20 petition we can call on our world leaders to end the mass damage and destruction our planet faces every day, and together we can end this era of Ecocide.
