Earth-Arson

The demon sits astride a star
And rides it down the sky.
And from the planet where we are
We wave as he shoots by
“Hello,” mixed with “goodbye.”

Is he returning here or not?
Nobody seems to know.
The earth is melting, molten hot,
Till flames leap from the glow.
The demon’s fault, I know!
