Time and Tide - "A Hundred Years More"

Every day I see them:

their plea for help when they know

they aren’t going to get

it.

They lie on the icy ground—

with them hovering over them

like vultures;

beating them until they can no longer

move.

47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWu6g7iNbH

Yet, what do we do?

Nothing, as they lie

dying on the icy ground; their

blood

47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIeEXWYyKI

pooling like floodwaters

that never recede

47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdL25nM9H1O

while that one person inches closer

because they will never be

satisfied.

47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7uoMysmaM

What will become of this world—

this world that they consider a

utopian?

47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtIVBqYBJE

One may never know,

but what I do know is that this needs to

stop—

47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwW9mtIQMoD

even if it takes a hundred years

more.
