Countdown

Our time 
is almost up 
as the hourglass 
carries on, 
waiting for someone or 
something to stop 
and reverse the 
flow of 
consequences 
from our foolish 
actions. 
Our world and 
lives are at 
stake, 
we're placing them 
on a bet that 
someone will 
change, 
pick up the hourglass, 
and stop the countdown 
before it's too 
late. 

Another art piece inspired poem, and by the same artist too. Once again, the following link and title belong to her: http://yuumei.deviantart.com/gallery/?q=Countdown#/d3lllcp
This poem, as well as the picture reminds us that we only have a certain amount of time before we create chaos here on Earth because of global warming and other consequences of our foolhardiness. With time constantly ticking by, will we be able to make it?
