Climate activist Greta Thunberg was detained by German police at a protest against the expansion of a coal mine in the village of Lützerath. She was part of a group of protesters who broke through a police barrier and encroached on a coal pit, which authorities had not been able to secure entirely.

Greta Thunberg, a young and brave soul,
Was detained by German police, a story to unfold,
She stood up for what she believed,
Against a coal mine, she grieved.

She joined a large group of protesters,
Together they marched, with purpose and focus,
They broke through a police barrier with might,
To stop the expansion of the mine, they would fight.

They encroached on a coal pit, black and deep,
A sight that made many hearts leap,
But the authorities were not amused,
They had to secure it, they refused.

The police were concerned for their safety,
The ground was soft, due to recent rainfall's gravity,
They feared the masses of protesters could set it in motion,
So they intervened, without hesitation or notion.

They removed the people from the danger zone,
And detained them, as a precaution,
One of them was Greta Thunberg,
A climate activist, known to all, young and old.

"We knew who she was," said police spokesperson Christof Hüls,
"But she did not get VIP treatment, that's not how it works."
He added, "She did not resist, she was peaceful and calm,
Just fighting for a cause, with all her heart and calm."

Greta Thunberg had been the main speaker at the rally on Saturday,
And surprisingly returned to protest on Sunday,
She was detained then and again on Tuesday,
But her spirit never faltered, it never swayed.

The group detained on Tuesday were released later that day,
But Greta's fight for the earth will never sway,
She'll keep on speaking out, with a powerful voice,
For a sustainable future, she'll never rejoice.

So let this be a lesson, to all of us,
To stand up for what we believe, without any fuss,
For a better world, for future generations,
We must take actions, without hesitation.
