too busy to care about the world

you either
have to be really young,
or really
old
to protest.
to find the extra hours
to make the signs
and march
with candles
in the air.
those of us in the middle,
have no time
for climate
change, or war,
no time
to change the world,
we're too busy
with work,
with walking dogs,
and changing diapers,
figuring out
what's for dinner,
and pondering
how to kill the weeds
in our yard.
