Teetering

Unprecedented melting polar ice caps

    our seas rise

        our frozen tundra thawing

            soon to be oven baked

The sword of Homo Sapiens - our tipping point

    upon which we fall

        our final moment imminent

    Unless, Unless Unless, Unless Unless Unless

        We seize this dwindling chance

            as a species we decide

                not to go quietly into the night

                    to stem the breach

                        to mount all our resources

                             and withdraw from the brink

No single effort will suffice

    each must embrace

        the ultimate sacrifice

Lest we and our beloved companion species

    become extinct
