The Last Rocket

Will I be there on the rocket When the last ship leaves this planet Or will I stay with the brave ones And dig me a home in granite As our sun convulses and gasps With its little fuel left to use Should I venture into unknown Or write in the dark with my muse All these years that we have wondered If we had visitors from space "Aliens" was the best we did To name a mysterious race So I'll not die an "alien" I will let the cosmos occur I know my days are numbered now But, then again, they always were 9-12-19 Contest: Welcome To My Random World Sponsor: Nina Parmenter
