Come, maul the manosaurs, O asteroid
Some sixty million years back from today,
An asteroid, way lost, hit the Earth hard,
Devastating saurian reign caught un-guard--
Event that in the cosmic past might lay
As blink of tiny yesterday’s shadow
That left poor dinosaurs no chance well worth
But get wiped out with little trace of birth
Whilst it changed humankind’s chequered morrow.
Humans might hail saviour asteroid
That let them a new chapter to borrow
From Fate and dig a gigantic furrow
On future rule, pen a new page from void
And proved to be far poignant pain to Earth,
Come Death Stone, maul the manosaurs in mirth.

Note: To dinosaurs it happened once. What they could not have done, man has done in devastating Earth (can we call him manosaur?) The asteroid that destroyed dinosaurs I think need to visit close enough to at least scare men out of their mirth. Or let another asteroid have a close encounter with planet Earth. of the Earth, and if it has to go the dinosaurs’ way, it is perhaps good for the Earth.
