Dear Humans
Please will you stop breaking the Weather?
It is very bad for us all.
We are all very used to change; we have changed and changed again
all through Earth’s long story.
The changes you make happen too fast; we can’t keep up.
We do our best to sort out your mistakes,
but every year we grow fewer.
Once you worked with us,
now, always against us.
Why is that?
We have sent you many, many messages.
Do you receive them? We aren’t sure.
Yet are always ready to talk, if you are ready to listen.
Are you ready?
Might you be ready soon?
We can only hope.
With love, still, in spite of everything
Your fellow Earthlings
