While our spaceships crash too soon
Satellites amongst the stars
And rovers touching down on Mars
The Milky Way glimmers like gold
Andromeda, with stories untold
The Pillars of Creation stand so tall
As universes rise and fall
Where do we stand, amongst the dust
Waiting around upon the crust
Watching the sky with bated breath
As we approach Eternal Death
Could we ever be like them?
Upon our rock, stuck in mayhem
We beg, we plead, we try so hard
But humanity is much too scarred
So we scream into the void
Nothing's safe. It's all destroyed.
Our buildings crumble all around
Becoming dust upon the ground
What's left to lose? Our time's run out
As we riot, scream and shout
Does the cosmos hate us so?
Or was it simply all a show
We had so much time for love and peace
As we watched our humanity. slowly. cease.
