Track 1
Reconstruct the poem by dragging each line into its correct position. Your goal is to reassemble the original poem as accurately as possible. As you move the lines, you'll see whether your arrangement is correct, helping you explore the poem's flow and meaning. You can also print out the jumbled poem to cut up and reassemble in the classroom. Either way, take your time, enjoy the process, and discover how the poet's words come together to create something truly beautiful.

Why won't they listen? Why can't they see?
I've shown the facts, I've drawn the charts,
For every tree, for every town.
The truth so clear, yet they're so annoyed.
I hope one day, they'll hear the call,
But they turn away, it's all the same.
And join the fight, before we fall.
They talk of cycles, of nature's way,
The ice is breaking up, the Earth's losing heart.
The planet's crying out, it's clear to me.
They say it's just a phase, a twist of fate,
I speak of rising seas, of scorching flames,
Ignoring all the signs before it's too late.
Yet they deny, they dismiss.
When will they see the future we share?
I've seen the reefs turn white, the wildlife flee,
While the forests burn, day by day.
I'm tired of shouting into the void,
We hold the key to change, it's in our hands,
We're on the edge, a precipice,
I'll keep on fighting, I won't stand down,
The consequence of our own folly.
What will it take for them to care?
But denial stands like shifting sands.
