I run, I escape, I hide and I sleep in fear! I run away from the blazing sun’s heat, But all shed trees have been reduced to stumps. I run away from the burning fires, But the largest investments go to industrial pollution. I run away from flooding waters, hurricanes and devastating storms, But Arctic ice is vastly melting and sea banks’ buffers have been erased. I run away from chemical sprays in farmlands, But farmers have been convinced that there are no alternatives. Yet when I have finally escaped, I have to run back home (wreckage) to pick my mask! Because PM2.5, PM10, Cholera and COVID-19 have all invaded my environment. My heart is pumping, I wake up exhausted, in fear and sickly every day. Then I realize our environment is sick, we all better do something. By : Mr. Alex Ahebwa
