Enormous changes are happening,
oh my God I’m not scared but I’m already warned
global warming it’s here, shall we ask ourselves why?
The world is lost!
Dreaming, dreaming it’s still legit for us
IT is a crazy bully,
he has it in for our environment and he goes his own way
I’m not scared, she reassures me
I’ll defeat this clown I’ll fight against the smog,
I’ll get lost in the forest,
so I’ll be a warrior, suddenly Greta arrives and holds out hope…
Here on Earth, we are getting by until Mars will take us apart[1]
With tropical weather,
I’ll stare at the horizon,
hoping inside me,
to see the sun again
Dreaming, dreaming it’s still legit for us
IT is a crazy bully,
he has it in for our environment and he goes his own way
I’m not scared, she reassures me
I’ll defeat this clown I’ll fight against the smog,
I’ll get lost in the forest,
so I’ll be a warrior, suddenly Greta arrives and holds out hope…
I’ll defeat this clown I’ll fight against the smog,
I’ll get lost in the forest,
so I’ll be a warrior, suddenly Greta arrives and holds out hope…
[1] In Italian in the idiom “until death do us apart” the word death (morte) is similar to Mars (Marte)
Allegory
IO NON HO PAURA
​
Author: Francesco Turturici
We are in the worst environmental historical period.
To satisfy their greed, capitalists negatively impact and violate even the most unpolluted places on Earth.
After 40 years of several environmental policies, governments did not realistically endorse the fight against global warming.
Bureaucrats and the world’s leaders haven’t been able to take responsibility and make shared decisions.
Humanity, animals, forests and everything “green” remaining in the world is at risk of extinction. All of this has a clear deadline: 2050.
If global emissions won’t be cut before this deadline, an end will be put to everything “human” on Earth.
In these last month Greta Thunberg, the girl with a sullen face and long braids, has come up as an environmental icon,
demonstrating against the world leaders at the ONU headquarters.
The purpose of her fight is clear, she is trying to spread awareness all over the world in the attempt to stop climate change.
The young Swedish girl finds out about the existence of a wicked figure, Donald Trump, represented in the shoes of Pennywise, also known as IT, who feeds on human beings’ fears. He is a monster who, through a cyclic process, wakes up and fools the town’s children by giving them balloons.
To defeat this charming monster, supreme chief of the multinationals, Greta must find a way to unite all humanity, keeping alive the love for our planet.
