An island nation consisting of
three reef islands and six atolls,
measures twenty six square kilometres
eleven thousand men live in villages
clinging to a narrow strip of land
all victims of climate change,
as sea level continues to rise
they are running out of time.
It is a matter of time before
all the nine little pieces of
the tiny Pacific island state
is swallowed by the sea.
The people of Tuvalu want
the state's identity to continue
even after the land of the nation
is submerged fully or partially,
its maritime boundaries are
not changed by sea level rise,
and its sovereignty be
recognised as permanent.
