This was written some weeks back with the intent of being a script for a short animated film. That is still the intent.

WE ALL LIVE ON THE SAME EARTH.

WE HAVE A COMMON INTEREST:
THE BIOSPHERE THAT SUSTAINS US.

ALL OF US ARE COMPLETELY DEPENDENT ON IT.
ALL OF US.

WE MUST NOT DESTROY IT.
WE MUST NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO DESTROY IT.

WE CANNOT DESTROY IT
WITHOUT DESTROYING OURSELVES.

THAT WOULD BE THE END OF US.
ALL OF US.
INCLUDING EVERYONE WE LOVE.

YET IT IS BEING DESTROYED.
RIGHT NOW.

A VERY FEW PEOPLE IN POSITIONS OF POWER AND AUTHORITY ARE SPEARHEADING THE DESTRUCTION.

SOME OF US ARE ACTUALLY SUPPORTING THEM.
OTHERS ARE STANDING UP FOR THE EARTH.

AND WE ARE RIDICULING AND CRITICIZING THOSE WHO ARE TRYING TO PROTECT US AND OUR PLANET AND OUR LOVED ONES.

WE SAY THEY ARE DISRUPTIVE AND INEFFECTIVE.
WE DON’T LIKE THEIR METHODS.
AND WE DO NOTHING AT ALL EXCEPT CRITICIZE.
