The world has always been one of nomadic refugees, dispelled from their homes because of conflict or circumstance. But now the man-made climate crisis is creating more and more climate refugees as we harm our planet and our governments refused to make immediate and impactful changes to lower emissions. Choose Love is an organisations where you can buy real gifts for refugees including practical items for shelter and sanitation.
We are in a moment of crisis, the atmosphere lets in leaks like the side of a ship and we are the passengers. We will sink if we do not act quick and act together. We are in this together -
We are the boat.
We are the boat
Our temporary land Do we own this?
The splintered nation boards of splintered nations
board this boat, Do we have the rights as we float
Time cries as tides rise
as we try to find a new place to call
home.
Where are land is not flooded
our forests not ablaze
our town square not a warzone
our families saved
In this land I have no
Place
I fill this
Space
That wasn’t meant for
Me
A refugee
Do they know from where?
They stop and stare
I’m on the news
They share their views
On whether I have the right
To move to say to do
I choose -
Love
