Let’s do something!
Der Klimawandel ist ständig für uns präsent: politisch, wissenschaftlich und auch spürbar. Der Englischkurs im E-Jahrgang hat sich mit Frau Böttger auf eine ganz besondere Weise mit dem Thema befasst, nämlich lyrisch. Hier findet Ihr einige der Gedichte:
We get to pay
You give us Great Depression
We get to grow up in your broken economy
You give us high estate costs and low wages
We get to wonder how we will afford the lives we were given
You give us high expectations
We get to fear not fulfilling them
You give us a burning earth
We get to solve the problems you’ve created
You give us doubt
We get to learn not to open up to you
You give us inequality
We get to live in fear
(Tom )
Do something
Let’s go swimming in the ocean
Before it is filled with plastic
Let`s go take some fresh air
Before our lungs die from toxics
Let`s picnic in the forest
Before it gets burnt down
Let`s climb a mountain
Before it crumbles
Let`s do something
Before it is too late
Let`s do something
Before we can`t do something
Humans versus World
I give you water
You give me poison
I give you animals
You are killing them
I gave you resources
You are exploiting them
I am the world
You are killing me
I am defenceless
You say, you`ll help me
I trusted you
You did nothing
(Julian)
Conspicuous Consumption
We live in indigence
We buy just to satisfy
They bother ‘bout another
Mouth to feed
While we have no need
We buy out of boredom
They work hard to pull through
Whatever it is, as long as it’s much
While they can’t even touch
The conspicuous consumption
Whereas they have no option.
