More Than That

A Prompted Poem on Resilience

Photo by Nong Vang on Unsplash

what is resilience but rapid recovery bouncing back full swing after catastrophe

it speaks of longevity with a youthful nature to be able to restore such majestic grandeur

our planet is resilient in spite of our desires to bend the very world as a plaything of ours

it will be here when we’re gone a healing thing as time moves on

if we wish to be along for the ride we’re going to need to take some strides

we need to be more than resilient so let’s start with three trillion

new energy and infrastructure to lessen the blow could also help our economy glow

a better world may sound like madness or brilliance but if we want to live to see it, we’ll need more than resilience

I’ve just heard that the new administration is proposing a plan to spend $3T on bosting the economy, including spending some of that money on improving infrastructure and green transit. While this may turn out to be a great start after more details unfold, it’s not going to be enough. We need more than that.
