'What Did You Do Once You Knew' by Drew Dellinger

'It's 3.23 in the morning and I'm awake, because my great-great-grandchildren won't let me sleep.
My great-great-grandchildren ask me in dreams
"What did you do while the Planet was plundered?
What did you do when the Earth was unravelling?
Surely you did *something* when the Seasons started failing?
As the mammals, reptiles, birds were all dying?
Did you fill the streets with protest when Democracy was stolen?
What did you *do* once you knew?"


"The waking have one world. in common, whereas each sleeper turns away to a private world of his own. "
