A Twist on the Lorax

Some may say “But no Thneeds, what will we do?”
You must shout back “Thneeds are not for you!”
Don’t be greedy and take everything,
We need to leave something so the birds can sing.

We’ve lost so much and we think we’ve come far
But in reality we’re lost because of these polluting cars
Take a look at the dear planet’s deep scars,
Oh my! What have we done?
-- like cigarette tar to a healthy lung!

So where’s the map? Where can it possibly be?
We need a leader to guide the way to be free
Free from the stuff that guides us nowhere
Dictates our ways and the products for our hair.

These challenges and pitfalls can be hard to endure,
But your clear mind hope will fight—I’m sure!
It’s going to be hard and long, I know
But in 2 billion years the planet will thank you so.

The words of the Lorax still echo today,
They ring true in my ears and are here to stay.
Join us in this call for action
We can already envision positive reactions.

From the birds to the bees, to your mom and dad,
They raised caring folk that aren’t half bad.
You see, things can change when there’s a strong start,
It’s people like you who care with all your heart.

Working together is necessary, it’s true
It all can’t be done if we’re missing you!
