"I couldn't stand to see the queen breathe her dreams away
And tell me her tomorrow will never become today
I say I used to know a woman just like you,
Beautiful but jaded by the multitude of men who'd often try to
Justify their lies with twisted notions of survival
And hide behind their armor when karma completes a cycle
She replied
That just because I knew a woman well it doesn't mean I know them all
She begins to bade farewell

Eyes up to the sky, she sighs, I need nobody
True indeed, sister, but you still need everybody because
We hardly know ourselves if we know nobody else
And only in our loneliness can home become a hell"

Scientists estimate that Kiribati, along with other Pacific Islands like Tuvalu, are going to be completely underwater as early as 2050 due to global warming, which is causing the sea levels to rise dramatically. Therefore, thousands of I-Kiribati may likely be forced to leave their homes.

Kiribati has been urging world leaders at a multitude of international conferences on global warming and climate change to implement tougher measures to control global warming, only to be shut down by countries like China and Saudi Arabia (with others keeping quiet, like the United States).

What would you do if you knew your home was going to likely disappear within your lifetime? :/
