By Leena Joshi
With brush strokes bold and colors bright,
Artists take up the climate fight,
Their canvases become a call,
To save the earth, protect us all.
They paint the melting polar caps,
The ocean's depths, the forests' gaps,
The endangered creatures, near extinct,
Their art provokes, it makes us think.
Their sculptures rise, like mountains grand,
To make us see, to understand,
The damage we've done, the price we'll pay,
Unless we change, act now, today.
Their photos capture, freeze in time,
The beauty lost, the world in decline,
Their words inspire, move our hearts,
To take a stand, play our parts.
For art is more than just aesthetics,
It's a tool for change, a means to ethics,
To use our voices, make them heard,
And fight for justice, for every bird.
Let's join, the artful crew,
And use our gifts, to see us through,
To heal the earth, and make it whole,
For art and climate, are one and soul.
