Humans are moving into space and beyond
The planet they call home will soon be dead
and gone
They succeeded doing what none did before
Killing a planet where life prospered millions
of years or more
Destruction began with animal resources
Then draining the earth of all its life forces
Earth's atmosphere didn't escape the
decimating act
It was the last to go in actual fact
They built a space vehicle …a latter day
Noah's ark
And they're now lost in space in cosmos'
frozen dark
They haven't a plan on where they'll go
But found the universe is a rocky horror
