This is the time
it has to be now
to face our sins
apologize
realize
we need to heal
forgive each other
out of the corner of my eye
a polar bear swims for its life
the ice sheet has melted
the seals on the far shore
people still deny
indigenous children's ghost
brown skin can't breathe
the polar bear swims
extreme heat and forest fires
tornadoes and hurricanes
earthquakes and tsunamis
lies
and the polar bear swims
