A planet could be viewed
Along with its moon
The nebula sliced through
It moved slowly, menacingly
It would bring doom
But the end of everything
Was not what I feared
I was ready to leave
But this planet was shaking
Earthquakes splitting the crust
From gravity's pull
The mystics said we all need
To believe
But we already did
And saw hell approach
The last generation looked upon us
Askingly
And we had nothing to say
We had failed to find a way
For earth to survive
