The Edge

I stand on the edge of time,

Wondering if we could have been better,

If we could have stopped this.

I stand here thinking of what could have been,

What messages we missed,

What selfishness and greed destroyed.

I stand here as the last.

I stand alone.

I stand here with no future.

One planet,

One world,

Home to billions of people, and billions of creatures.

Every action has a reaction.

I stand here on the edge of time.

The last of humanity.

The last of life.

The message was clear:

You’re killing her.

Killing them.

Killing yourself.

I stand here,

Alone,

At the end,

Because it is too late.

Save her.

Save them.

Save yourself,

Whilst you still have time.
