Sonnet 14 lines 96 words : 14 billion year old planet earth, humans 200K years, 112 year oldest American. Societal commentary.
Ponder the lengthy life of our planet Here we are for only a bitty blink Many creative creatures now span it Each having hardly enough time to think Seemingly senseless gnashing of the truth Turning it all about and running round Silently stopping, then there's just poof Leaving little trifling traces to be found Funny how flawed and frail we all are Never knowing what will nudge us next Mostly seeking some silly thrills thus far Impacting human lives to small effect We were wondering who will carry on Without warning we poof, then we're gone 6/20/21
