Earth's Last Breath
The earth on her last day comes in my mind
I see the earth sick with stomachache
in the universe that is becoming rebellious
humans that increasing act as God’s creators
Time is near or remote; the sick earth will collapse
A lunatic drank with hatred presses fire buttons
The atmosphere goes to flames with no warning
and living things laugh forever with lip-less teeth
No! not the case; the earth’s stomach’s not healthy
aching with hot diarrhea from first anniversary
floods of hot dysentery will gush out with rage
and all members of the earth become soupy and gone
Listen to this; angry microbes rise up in arms
they eat every point and joint of life on earth
destroying all symbiotic networks of life
and the earth collapsed dead never to rise again
Give me your ears again; after a long tour a star
will be pushed by a drunken ghost of the skies
it stumbles away from its orbital path to dark jungles
of the universe and fails to read the map of its path home
With all the anger it collides with its neighbors
a fight begins and goes in a world with no day or night
and crashes into the earth fatally cutting off the head
that will be the earth’s last breath
But then it also comes to me in a strange way
the earth will die when the sun dies. No more light!
all heavenly beings then will stumble, lose their paths
what a big collision there will be in cosmic realms!
