How Long Will We Have Islands? by James Aitchison

“I’m rising,” said the sea,

“there’s no room for you and me…”

On Tuvalu, people fear

their home soon will disappear.

The Maldives now are on the brink,

and Kiribati too will sink.

Five Solomon islands already lost,

beneath the rising waves were tossed.

Do we ignore the ocean’s drive,

or will we help our friends survive?

One million face uncertainty,

in a global warming catastrophe.
