it is sliding through space with no time to lose
the sky above earth will be a filled cloak of fire
once the meteor strikes near the earth atmosphere
there will be no time to flee, only the time to die
so we must try our only way, or our earth is a pyre
the missiles launched to save us rather than to kill
and many panic, but truly how often do we practice
for a world killer collision with a planetary strike
should you even bother trying to save your self
