PLEASE STAY ALIVE

I cover you with my hand, to protect you from the wind,
I keep on praying, please... may you stay alive
My shivering hands want to hold you tight,
even though I try, I'll be defeated in the fight

Your burning flame, gave me warmth,
my only eye that looks around the dark
My dearest wind don't blow it off,
it's my only way to get out of the dark

The candle in my hand, enlightens my heart,
my heart in-turn will see the truth
So cruel society don't blow it off,
it's my only way to get out of the dark

Oh cruel   wind, don't be so tough,
this is the only way to make people know
that HUMANITY is this dying flame,
and make them stop from blowing it off

Oh rain, the evil spirits of ill will,
Humanity is at the verge of destruction
So please rain, don't wash it away,
if you do, the world will get lost in the dark

Minute by minute, it's melting away,
minute by minute, it's getting smaller
The Humanity which once stood up straight,
is now about to fade away

Give me strength to protect this flame,
and light it up in everyone's heart
and wisdom to make it shine brighter,
before it gets smaller and melt away

Truly amazing poem! Your feelings for a dying humanity is reflected through the beautiful comparisons used in this poem.
Liked it very much. A little refinement to rhyme the lines can make it even better :)

My best stanza:

Oh cruel wind, don't be so tough,
this is the only way to make people know
that HUMANITY is this dying flame,
and make them stop from blowing it off
