DO SOMETHING
Yesterday I woke my child
With a kiss and a hug
‘We’re going to Caerdydd’
I reminded him –
That’s where our Government is
and only they can
protect Wales if, they
are strong and brave
Like the Ancestors the
Cymru they gave their
lives for our todays.
What is one Saturday
For my childs yfory?
One day to stand with
my Cymru my fellows
from All over Wales
Attempting by our presence
our banners our speeches
our singing – our singing…
To encourage our leaders
to stand united
against the greed
of “The Already Rich”
To stand united
Against the drills, the chemicals
That threaten our land
our people, our health.
The sun shone freely
Solar Power
The bay stretched before us
Tidal Power
The storm clouds came
Bringing wind and rain
Air and Water
Powers.
Sustainable. Renewable.
Frack Free
Wales.
Fossil Free Wales
Fighting
Climate change.
Land of My Fathers and
My Mothers
Let us be able
to tell our
Children we campaigned
for their tomorrows.
Yfory.
We are the Ancestors
of the future
of this Proud Nation.
Let not Westminster bully
and browbeat
us into submitting to
their laws. When our
Welsh Government have
power. Have power
To protect. To plan.
To change.
I gave my Saturday
to tomorrows children
of all species. Bats,
Badgers, Deer, Spiders
Oak and Ash and
All the others
Part of this Earth.
We are Custodians
Climate change is Here.
Too fast it moves
and deepens.
What can any of us do?
Beth?
