Poem
Looking back at our dying earth through windows of hope and despair It's hard to imagine our planet within hours will be barren and bare All we take are our memories from a place so rich in compare To outer yonder we travel, all on-board for a future to share We are the chosen few, to lead mankind to a distant world Recalling the days when we dreamt, in comics being told it's absurd We witness the seas being angry, like they have never been witnessed before Eruptions abound in plenty, seeing the tearing of earth's crust, now sore Picturing cities where we resided, all we see are crimsoned orange reds So free as we venture to anew, containing images of our now forgotten dead Our once beautiful sphere, now decrepit in battle scarred sit In the distance it shall always remain, knowing that we were part of it As I look around this ship, ironically Discovery is it's name Hoping history will again repeat itself, allowing us humans an honourable claim ~*~ Days seem like months even years yet it can only be hours since we left I for one can't comprehend as to the devastation leaving a planet so reft The distance that we can travel in space, remains unbelievable in ones thoughts It's what lies out there now that worries, can humanity be brought back from nought An announcement over the speakers now heard, co-ordinates that were set have been reached No religion will ever again divide man, or it's hatred to ever again be preached We are now witnessing our new world, captured by the Hubble's wondrous lens The scientists told us of valleys, and magnificent Scottish like glens Blue azure skies resonate, amidst cotton wool clouds in sporadic drift Suddenly a shaking, a severe vibrating as we head into a left angled shift Unknown grounds grow ever nearer, panic stricken confused scared and crying To this alien land we die like our planet, evolution can now stop trying http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/fantasy-19.php
