in the space

Strapped in, trapped in, the space on the ledge
Ebbing, ebbing, ebbing towards the edge,
Edging edging, edging towards the eddy
Sea levels rising, yet we don't seem ready
To act in concert to stem what we've begun
Still in denial of the damage done

We came from the water, now we're back again
Marching towards the border, where we may end,
All life's trapped, in the space on the ledge
Ebbing, ebbing, ebbing towards the edge
