Earth Cries: A Poem By Hammood Odeh

Meet Hammood, a 12-year-old from Virginia who is making waves as one of the youngest guest authors ever featured in the Changing Planet Justice Journal. We are thrilled to showcase his heartfelt call to action.

In his poem, Earth Cries, Hammood captures the raw urgency and profound concern that defines Gen Z’s response to the climate crisis. Poignant and deeply earnest, his words distill the collective anxiety of a generation into a few compelling lines.

Let's let Hammood's voice remind us all of the importance of listening to the next generation.
