When I hear Greta Thunberg damning the world at the UN...

...I am reminded of exactly where I was when I wrote No Healing:

Lyrics:
Messing around
Digging up tarpits
And we'll burn it all away
Mining that gold
Exporting asbestos
Trade the future for today
We don't know why
But I've got a feeling
It could be a long time
Before we start the healing
Frack that shale
Strip that mountain
Extract it all away
Drain all brains
With the freshwater
Rape the future for today's gain
And I've got a feeling
It'll be a lifetime
Before we staunch the bleeding
Hiding your crimes
Building more prisons
Disregard the scientists
Mute all truths
Reason is treason
Ruled by ideology
And I know I've
Got a sickening feeling
Could be a long time
And there won't be no healing
They are expecting 300,000 in the streets of Montreal tomorrow. Hope to see you there.
