Some Are Asking | Poetry of Mankh |Axisoflogic.com

What would Greta do?
What would Crazy Horse do?
What would Jesus do?
What would millions of climate activists you’ve never heard of do?

What would ants do?
What would clouds do?
What would rain do?
What would birds navigating a shifting north pole,
city lights and altered seasonal cycles affecting
their migration timing eating patterns do?

And to be vigilant and outsmart them:
What would corporate CEO do?
What would banker do?
What would Full-Spectrum-Dominance do?
What would those who don’t believe climate chaos,
don’t care about climate refugees and think an ancient rock
is just plain dumb do?

And while treating the situations seriously,
it doesn’t hurt to have some fun, so:
What would Winnie-the-Pooh do?
What would Play-Doh do?
What would voodoo do?
What would early morning atop of what remains of green spears
of meadow grass and wildflowers dew?

Yet to you reading this
the answer is in:
the marrow of your bones,
air energizing your breath,
water emoting through your body,
fiery sun in your heart of hearts.

And to those still with the question,
perhaps the answer will come from
– as with a rock –
simply being.
