Aware of neither custom nor practice, he walked into the packed hall;
His crumpled suit made heads nod in unified derision
When the pompous moderator took to the microphone and raised his call
The wealthy and wise wondered whether he had even anything to say, in pompous unison
“Ladies and gentlemen and stakeholders of our future generations” rang out a voice loud and clear
“Mother Earth knows neither rewards nor punishments, but only consequences”
Enraptured they sat as he completely enveloped them with scenarios of both hope and fear
Draconian was he merely in looks, but a sophisticated Mark Anthony in his utterances.
