   Sliver
In the story of the world
Our time has been but
The wink of an eyelid.
A thin slice which could easily
Have been skipped over.

Now a narrow window is
Fast closing and all we have are
The meaningless promises
Uttered by those in power
To keep their privileges.

Gone are the years of plenty.
This earth we thought we owned,
We thought was ours for the taking,
Has left us with nowhere to hide.
Now we cannot buy time to right
The wrong we’ve done.

We should have listened
To what nature was telling us
Instead we chose to just sit,
Sit and watch the world
Unravel in front of us.
