I Did Nothing
In the style of Martin Niemöller

First a hole opened in the ozone
But I did nothing
For I could not see the ozone
Then the polar bears began to die of starvation
But I did nothing
For they were very far away
Then some places began to have 100-year storm events
But I did nothing
For those places were not where I was
Then the seas rose on the coastal cities
But I did nothing
For I did not live on the coast
Then winter changed to summer, crops failed,
and famine swept the land
But I did nothing
For by then, there was nothing left to do
