There’s something poetic
About the fall of mankind
No matter how it is portrayed
It’s artistic to my mind
In popularized myth
We destroy ourselves
Poetic justice
For the environmentally conscious
Unleashing terror after terror
Humanity falls into oblivion
If not filling the entire planet
With tons of carcinogen
Many eyes turn to the sky
Will destruction come from above?
That’s what many astronomers
Would definitely love
A chunk of rocking
Falling from space
Destroying the world
This entire place.
Some even fantasize
About an alien invasion
A higher technology
Come for colonization
All are interesting thoughts
But the oddest one of all
Is that we dream of this
Fantasizing destroying this planetary ball
I do not suppose it is odd
To wonder about our eventual doom
But putting it on the movie screen
Seems to make it all loom
Just over the horizon
Somewhere in the land of tomorrow
Lies our eventual end
That chills some to their marrow
All I know
Is what I’ve always known
You have to live today
Because tomorrow we might all be gone
Life is a beautiful
And amazing gift
Enjoy it all
Don’t let fear cause a rift
Because if a rift forms
Between enjoyment of today
Then something will be lost
And that is a sad thing to say.
