“If they survive, today's children will inherit a world that our fathers and grandfathers have ravaged, where the seas are acidic cesspools that the whales have fled, where rain forests are Indian memories never to return, and where human greed has plundered Mother Earth's innards and turned human genes into factories for profit. They will inherit a diminished planet where fresh water is increasingly rare, and where fresh air is a commodity... We live in a world that fears and hates its young. How else can one explain the bequest of such a foul, polluted, and hollow inheritance?” IfsWorldHumansChildrenTodayEarthYoungMotherHateFatherWaterMemoriesAirSeaPlanetsReturnFutureRainGreedProfitForestsIndianFactoriesGenesGrandfatherCommodityInheritanceHollowOur FatherFoulWhalesMother EarthFresh AirFresh WaterFathers And Grandfathers Author:Mumia Abu-Jamal

Instead they are used to take children from soccer practice to Pizza Hut. In the process they burn fuel like there's no tomorrow.
