roogymirror's Poems: Vol. I

Extinction

One event to define them all
The wide horizon does surely sprawl
Evolution is a slow crawl
And the writing is on the wall

A million years like a blink of the eye
They'll never comprehend the reasons why
Because eventually all things die
After the meteor, they said goodbye

A day like any other except for
The unfamiliar sight their eyes bore
In the sky above a shooting star
Coming closer from its place afar

An intense heat from no discernible place
As the object hurtled down from space
No comprehension of what was to follow
For soon their lives would be rendered hollow

Silence soon, at once everywhere
Leaving none to ponder there
To reflect or prepare themselves
Without a concept of time, no final twelve
