View From the Second Comet - Act 1
Out of its axis
In negative spin
Our planet we call earth
Is diminishing
Three days earlier
A comet struck home
From the black of the universe
On its trajectory roam
The world as normal
Went about its day
Parents worked
While their children played
We had heard before
That a comet may strike
But the observatory in Hawaii
Said we were well out of its sight
But unknown to us all
It had split into two
The smallest section
Towards us flew
As it broke from the main body
In its twisted break
Its angle changed
We now just await
On the day of the impact
Half the world was asleep
While the other half
Were already in weep
It struck a volcano
Near the Indian Ocean
As fissures opened
In lava spewed motion
As we watched on the news
We could hardly believe
Our planet being obliterated
Will we have time to grieve
On CNN
A report comes in
The shuttle Liberty is following
As the second part of the comet spins
It too has changed
Its trajectory course
To our planet it heads
For now we all, fear the worst
Presidents, Prime Ministers
Are all on the phone
Asking, What can we do
To stop this destructive roam?
