The Destiny of An Unimportant Green Blue World
What is the universe thinking?
Everything moves in a supposed order
Expanding according to eternal, unwritten laws
Created by an explosion unlike any other
Controlled by the being who dreamed it up
Maybe by design
Maybe on a whim
Maybe it was just a second thought
Maybe the universe was his first mistake
In the end he created a world
Green and blue
At the edge of an unimportant galaxy
It orbits an insignificant star
That one world he gave life
He gave the world to human kind
Mere insects when compared to the rest of reality
Ten thousand lifetimes later
Man has a creation of his own
He has created his own demise
Disease, pollution and war
When it is all done
The being who created man will return
He will look at what man has done
He will shake his head in disappointment
The green and blue world he created
It will start again
He will give the world life
And it will thrive
At least for another ten thousand lifetimes
If they don’t make the mistakes the first life did
It may last longer
Or will the creator will once again reclaim his world
And he will try again
