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?
