Before believing it’s helpful

For kids to skip school for the climate

Consider the wisdom level

That surely must be behind it



If I’d been an activist at 16

I would have made your head spin

As leader of an airtight regime

Based on the songs of Led Zeppelin



Why not speak truth to power

With a snack over your lunch hour?



How about you teach us

After afternoon recess?



Or a bake sale

So you don’t fail

Out of school?
