fins circling
through warm water
1,000,000,000,000 million
dollar companies
bleached out species and
kelp forests ripped up
destroyed recovered
destroying recovering
superhero kids
trying to save the world
when they should be in class
maybe you feel like
you are screaming
at a thick wall of glass
and people only see
a distortion of your shape,
and hear only fragments of
your muffled voice
maybe you’re right
but
you are here because
your ancestors built
communities
and protected the children
who protected the children
who protected the children
keep screaming I can
hear you
