Earth Hour, did you celebrate?

I hope you celebrated Earth Hour on March 28th.  If you didn't, you'll get another chance next year.  In the meantime, please enjoy some poetry written during the event by a young, up-and-coming writer.

Earth Hour

They say there’s an hour,

the witching hour,

when all are asleep

nothing is heard;

not even a peep.

This hour is so grim.

This hour can reap.

It is so oddly scary,

not even robots will beep.

If the lights are out and all is silent

then that is sign that it has started to creep.

Though there’s a more joyful hour,

that comes once a year,

around the 30th of march

or near.

To make the world be like it never had light;

for just one night.

Think of it as an election,

with one candidate to make a correction

You are the voter,

your light switch;

the machine.

Make the right choices

we nead 1,000,000,000+ voices

to make a beating

out of global heating

in this world

upon which we stand.
