Take the phrase- What (blank), replace the blank with a word or phrase, i.e.
What luck. Whatever you say. What happens in?

WHAT TIME? ~~Day Fifteen

What time do we have left to use
Before the oil runs out?
Life as we know it is bound to change,
Unless we find some alternatives fast.
Global warming is set to increase
Temperatures rising, water evaporates,
With hurricanes drought and blazing fires,
What time do we have left to live?

What time is left to control
The worlds increasing population?
More people, less food and starvation,
Millions will die without education,
Birth control, smaller families, food sharing
How many innocents must pass away
Through over crowding famine and war?
What time will it take for realisation?

What time will we have left to live
Before the next pandemic strikes? 
Millions will die as the illness spreads
Unless a vaccine is created.
What time is the asteroid due to arrive
That will wipe out life on Earth?

What time do you have my friend?
My watch shows ten past seven.
Not very long to find the answer,
Will I get to hell or arrive in heaven?
