How will we point at the polluted oceans, the dried-up rivers,
the melted ice caps and say to our metaphorical children,
“One day all this will be yours—oh, and sorry about what we
did with it.” I think they may be a little angry at us. History
may indeed write us off as termite people. We have destroyed
and polluted and slaughtered and made a pretty poor show of
things. Individually, we can make a difference. We must make
a difference. Individually history must hold us accountable.
The trouble is there are so many people who won’t change
because they think they won’t be held accountable. If there is
no one watching, they think they can get away with murder.
History will make short work of them.
HISTORY MAY INDEED
WRITE US OFF AS
TERMITE PEOPLE.
