I propose an updated version
People of the world
you have traded your birthright
for a world poisoned
by cars
Rampant spread of cars has
stolen the streets from your children
Belief that a car is the only way
kills our women, and men, and children, and pets, and environment.
People of the world
Rise up and claim your birthright-
a world not ruled by machines and fear.
Reclaim your power to be strong
without destroying all there is around you.
Reclaim your power to be self-sufficient
without endangering others.
Look to yourself to be what you want to see in the world.
What's you version?

ReplyDeleteKrista, in a world where motorists are the majority it would be politically more efficacious to make your point without attacking THEM directly.
ReplyDeleteFor these purposes focus on the car, not the driver - who will automatically respond negatively to perceived verbal aggression.
Point taken.
