Challenge
Write a poem that begins with "Come with me" and "till the end", a challenge some of you may remember from last year.
Recently, I have been in a situation where the people around me have changed how they speak and write. I would like to revive a challenge that I created last year.

Come with Me
Come with me to see the world
And watch as the stars unfurl,
You can see them if you squint
Through all the smog, watch them glint.
Come to the oceans to see the fish swim
And watch the whales drown in all our sin.
Come to the north to see the ice disappear
Leaving homeless penguins and polar bears.
Come to the equator and see the human cost
Of drought, famine, and lives lost.
Come to the cities and see vultures fly
Circling around, waiting for us to die.
As people rush to see nature’s gold-
Roll up! Roll up! The tickets are nearly all sold.
The world is dying, it needs our defence
But we’ll keep exploiting it ’til the end.
