How Much Longer

By Ely Robinson

How much longer can the world hang on?
How many sunsets? How many dawns?
How much longer ’till we finally see?
I am asking for you, and I’m asking me.

How much longer will our blue skies last?
How much longer? They are fading fast!
How much longer will the sea survive? 
Creatures struggling to stay alive. 

​The time has come for one and all!
Mother Nature’s about to fall.
We let her down, but it’s not too late
to save her from this dreadful fate.

How much longer can the world hang on?
How many sunsets? How many dawns?
How much longer ’till we finally see?
I’m asking you and I’m asking me.
