Best Earth Science Poems
The crescent moons of the auburn sky
The acid rain clouds dance, purple, by
The air it stings as I respirate
A strange howling noise as the storms berate
This tempestuous land, a million clicks from home
My genes robust; Seventh Generation Clone
As I stand here longing for the ship's repair
To accelerate, under robot's care
For the time is short as the signal's down
Only two more sols. We MUST leave the ground
A hundred brothers and sisters too
We escaped our home as the lucky few
In our AI ships under proton power
Left in final days of the meteor shower
With just enough time to load species galore
Under Ark Project VII, just like Noah, once more.
With hope we can find an Eden like Earth
Only this time we'll treasure, for all she is worth
Encapsulated
by gravitational pull
'Observation earth'
Looking up at the stars at night,
Makes me feel such delight.
But I wonder what's beyond the dark,
That hasn't yet made its mark.
Maybe there are creatures,
Just like you and I.
Or maybe there are bright green aliens,
No one will ever find.
Will they like to go out
and play amongst the rock?
Or will they hate all other life,
And laugh and shout and mock.
For now though we don't know what's there,
That we are yet to see.
I just wish I had a rocket ship,
To take me to my dream.
It holds us in check
Keeps us from floating in space
from this spinning ball.
Shining gold on mellow blue Melting mass aglow for you Floating, rolling feel the heat Melting down the frozen sheet Big and round, the ants do crawl Blues and browns surround the ball Sparkle, shining through the space White on black do they lace Deep inside the rolling mass Fires of Hell on slicks of oil Steaming moats beneath the soil Truly impossible we say to you Living within the Cosmic Blue
science is perfect at its science
science is knowledge perfect at science
knowledge is knowledge perfect at science
at science is at knowledge
at science is at perfect
well known science is well known science at its best
well known science is well known knowledge at its best
well known knowledge is science well known
perfect is a well known science
perfect is a well known knowledge
science well known is science well known of science
the best kept science is the best kept form of earth
the best kept science is the best kept form of earth science
earth is earth best kept
earth is science best kept
best kept is science best kept of earth
earth is best kept as science
knowledge of science is knowledge at its best
science is knowledge best science
science is knowledge best knowledge
the best of knowledge is the best of science
A news flash said there is no tomorrow
And it fills me with a feeling of dread
A pity that more time we can't borrow
This time tomorrow we will be all dead.
A huge comet has decided our fate
Our family gather to say farewell
We all reflect on our lives as we wait
For mans stupidity has unleashed hell.
Scientists tried to change the orbit
Of this giant comet of rock and ice
Missiles sent into space failed to stop it
Also chose to ignore expert’s advice.
Soon humankind will no longer exist
All vaporised in a flash of white mist.

Pastel skies collide with waves of atmosphere
Through rockets blast on thunderous gaseous fire
Hurled away from Spring time madness flowered
Comforts of the Earth revoked
Man owns the universe and all that's in it
Cold has no name in deep space for color
Planets run with rocks in celestial quirks of nature
Through circular asteroid belts designed by black
Take blankets of dark wrapped in permanent night
Answer back at strangers who invade their space
Warned to keep a distance from the stars
Electronic noise with lights do not intimidate
A leap of faith is needed when you travel
Astronauts cover themselves in silver suites
Filled with oxygen and sensors to detect
To step outside the craft into the universe
Outside themselves into the past
Destinations measured become absorbed
Stored in the books of knowledge
In time it will all be sorted out
Bound to have some meaning this time out
Signals bounce from an antennae reaching
Calculated at a distance to the nearest stars
To be discovered as they are
Inclinations on the not so new
So far from home from our perspective
Only a soft beat can be discerned
Words have no sound in outer space
No meaning from the start
Only a murmur of humanity as matter
Sounds a faint echo in the distant heart
Inhabitants are living deep down inside the earth
Interstitial creatures following their birth
Waiting, watching deep inside they hide
In the darkness never seeing simply they abide
Freezing cold and blistering heat they flourish like the trees
But who can tell they’re even there in the land that never sees
Without a nation, without a light
Abiding in the land of night
If I hadn’t told you now, you’d probably not know
Most of life upon this earth is living down below
A little pre-dawn shaking was going on around LA.
Early morning risers got a jolt on St. Patrick’s Day.
This quake went the same way so many had gone before.
Today, it measured on the Richter scale at 4.4.
Nobody was hurt, and no damage had been done.
However, experiencing an earthquake is scary and not fun.
Was it the spirit of St. Patrick romping along the heather?
No, it was just two tectonic plates rubbing together.

Universal start byte
hello world?
calling a new world
anyone out there?
death over here
earth calling you
send a crew!
bring clean water
life a slaughter
we need food
life and death feud
not even a breath
imminent death
we are dying
stopped trying
Cyclic redundancy check
Universal stop byte
-low level firmware string-
In the beginning there was nothing
No music
No social media
No Nordstroms
It was boring as hell
On a positive note
There weren’t any distractions
Flat Earthers
I’ve heard some rubbish in my time,
But this one beats the lot,
Some people believe the Earth is flat,
How crazy, what twaddle and rot.
If only they’d researched history books,
Look up to the stars and swear,
It’s obvious to all who study these things,
The Earth isn’t flat, it’s square.
By studying ontogeny (the micro development of embryos), scientists can learn about the evolutionary history of organisms. Ancestral characters are often, but not always, preserved in an organism’s development. For example, both chick and human embryos go through a stage where they have slits and arches in their necks that are identical to the gill slits and gill arches of fish. This observation supports the idea that chicks and humans share a common ancestor with fish. Thus, developmental characters, along with other lines of evidence, can be used for constructing phylogenies (the macro evolutionary history of a kind of organism).
Ontogeny recapitulates Phylogeny
Haeckel’s embryonic thing
The reflections of life
Micro and macro stages of change
Placenta fertilization
It's the origins of growth
Recapitulation of the species
DNA manifest and begins to takes hold
Fish gills - Reptilian
Mammalian hair
The development of consciousness
Would evolve us to contemplate and care
This micro macro theory has been rejected
The Haeckel proposal denied
But to believe the earth is 6,000 year old
Is to ignore Einstein's theory of relativity, space and time
So, when people say “it's just a theory”
It becomes very clear to see
If you don't understand the scientific method
How will you ever understand the reality?
Some of the scientific principles
Maybe hard to accept
But when you're not interested or dismiss the facts
It's the beginning of an intellectual death
I'm not saying that faith and beliefs aren't important
Culture and curiosity provides the way
But to ignore scientific information
Is a choice to remain ignorant in modernity today
Darwinian evolution
The most incredible creation story unfolds
It reveals the language of God - science
Now the true beauty of life is told
Seeing spirals of Andromeda's dish
flinging itself towards the Milky Way;
many billion stars stuck in divine drama.
Through Gaia Observatory's scope eyes -
seems like two Ospreys warring in the skies.
Yet yields colossal change, spun at light speeds.
Seeing clearly our own old origins,
for mortals, this is how it all begins.
Knowing the truth may relieve one's worry,
hear earth's dynamic galactic story.
We're such specks, one of trillions;
in its vastness, aren't many minions.
Seeing one's self on our globe, universe;
always has had deep meaning for humans.
These billions of spheres shall surely collide,
the laws of physics cannot be denied.
Orbiting at an edge of our disk's swirl,
this galaxy's end will likely unfurl.
