Behind The Asteroid of Just Following Orders

“Let who is without sin, 
                 throw da first stone.”  
                                        -  dat Jesus Guy 

Throughout history 
Many eyes have seen 
Their own two hands ... 

Throw the first stone 
Pull the trigger 
Thrust the sword 
Hang a wigger or Hitler wannabe
Push The button 
Swing the axe 
Flip the switch 
Make Anthrax 
Sign the order 
Gas the chambers
Scalp a brother 
Build the Bomb behind closed doors 
Pull the lever, walk the plank

It’s either us or them has always been 
and seems a thoughtless worthless endeavor
 
So, when does it start, the thinking clearly  
Instead of just following orders
What changes the mind of madness,
Evil must be destroyed to free ourselves 
Does it happen after the bombs drop? 
The Book of Doom 
Says there is room 
For all of us in heaven 
If not, there’s plenty room in hell 
For everyone who just want to 
Keep on following orders 

Blindly, without questioning nothing.

A sure-fire way to create an Extinction event 
is to just keep on following orders 

Who needs asteroids 
When all we need is a little love 
And a lot of ignorance

The Red Diamond

His heart would flutter, so in love was he.
She was smart, well-read, and a great beauty
So under the moon, on his bended knee, 
He pleaded with her, "Will you marry me?"

The answer, "yes", he was relieved to hear,
Then they both decided the time next year.
"But your diamond takes longer, true, I  fear."
He rued the remark that saddened his dear.

"Oh, it will be shipped to you by and by.
'Bout ten years", he said, for he could not lie.
"It's a rare red diamond that I did buy,
And lodged in an asteroid in the sky."

"When the rock flies near to our planet's place,
We will send up a rocket to its face,
So we can dig out the gems from its base,
And you will wear a ring from outer space".

Guarantees

always the object of analyses
universe is what the universe is
from quarks to atoms, planets to galaxies
plus divers cosmic abnormalities

everything caught up in heavenly flow
of where non-stop change forces it to go
no guarantees a passing asteroid
will not explode our world into the void

no guarantee seeds will grow in the soil
no guarantee the great oceans won't boil
no guarantee we will have air to breathe
no guarantee we will have lives to lead

no guarantee we'll have time to reckon
all may end in interstellar second

Asteroid

Sixty-five million years B.C.
No human being around to see
Near total extinction: a catastrophe
Heaven knows when the next one will be

Astronomer Bob, didn't expect to see
Speeding on its lethal trajectory 
NASA insist it shall pass safely by
Lowlife reporter exposes that lie

Three days remain to atone for our sin
Many men turn to beer, whisky or gin
Mothers on knees beseeching the sky
Clutching their children they openly cry

Two days remain to face our worst dreads
And ponder the lack of atomic warheads
Some say a couple of well focused hits
Our nemesis shattered to vaporised bits

One day remains to reflect on humanity
Many enact hedonistic insanity
Others pen memoirs hand written at speed
Futile indulgence for no man to read

And lo is the sky ignited ablaze
Searing the vision of man’s final gaze
Impact tremendous but count not the dead
For it simply flattened my grandfather’s shed

Asteroid Gravity Graced

Asteroid


You were out of this world 
named for the Perseids
the meteor 
that exploded in two striking the blue 
between the sun and the moon 
the massive spark an exclamation mark
that punctuated perfectly my
“hey we’re going to see some awesome...”

fireworks tonight and
a week later


    Gravity 


led me to you
all arctic and wolfy
all wild and white
a firecracker alright
You were out of this world 
a brilliant light in my life for
fourteen years


     Graced


after you died 
I learned a meteor 
had streaked
that very same sky
the same day

my gift from the heavens 
the heavens reclaimed

An Asteroid In 2029

Scientists predict 2029 will be a very bad year
An asteroid will hit us, seems like the end is near
Better make plans
Maybe move to Uranus
'Cept brochures don't have deals for that year I fear

When An Asteroid Hits

When an asteroid hits, what will become of us
It's happened before, the effects were enormous
Forget about bathing
Or misbehaving
Nothing will matter especially streptococcus

Death By Asteroid

It's coming to your planet from out there
Sooner if you watch the news channel first 
2006 QV89  is alive and well and almost here
It can't wait to kill you on September 10th.
Most likely you could lose an eye or tooth
Not civilization as you know it

Coroners and vehicles line up to size you up
Is it bigger than a bus or truck?
Is it larger than a soccer field in Argentina?

Reporters want to cover asteroids in space
But they are way too busy watching Trump
Hemorrhoids will have to do

If only I watched less news reports
If only I were born on Mars
I'm too young to die by meteors
Like taxes they should be avoided
Can I add rock impacts to my insurance?
Is there life after asteroids?


*Authors note:  There is a less than 99% chance of this asteroid hitting Earth.  There is a less than .01% chance of it hitting a populated area.  2006 QV89 comes up on a "probability list" so the news media needs some filler so they  rattle some cages and torture small animals  (That would be us.) Can I buy Fake News insurance?

If An Asteroid Hits

All the wealth of all the richest men on earth
Would be totally useless no matter their worth
If a large asteroid hits
It won't mean 
It's “bye-bye, nice knowing ya” won't need a hearse

Asteroid My Apartment Sized Wolf

gut shopped far and wide

                                         familiar

                                   gravity drew me

If An Asteroid Hits

All the wealth of all the richest men on earth
Would be totally useless no matter their worth
If a large asteroid hit
It won't mean ****
It's “bye-bye, nice knowing ya” no need for a hearse

Asteroid Love

Find you
Hold your hands in mine
Look in your eyes
Tell you I love you
That’s what I would do
If Earth was getting slammed by an asteroid tomorrow
Oh my God! What if it turns out to be a near miss?

What If An Asteroid Hits

What if an asteroid hits tomorrow ending all life as we know it
Are you wearing clean underwear to travel to another planet
Where we can start anew
Start again, me and you
We sure know what NOT to do, our heads ain't granite

Asteroid

It was forecast by the astronomers
And across the world it caused a stir
The asteroid would pass close by
And it would be seen in the sky nearby

Some religions took it as a sign
Of the end of the world time
So we waited and scanned the heavens
For the astral traveller as it was driven

The long-awaited day finally was here
As the asteroid became visible so near
But it didn’t behave as the scientists expected
For it slowed and went into orbit as a moon unintended

Then the ocean’s tides changed with this new moon
With floods and droughts across the world quite soon
When both moons are in the night sky 
There is enough light to read a book by.
