The Great Dying
This sun with its attendant train
of rocks orbits this Galaxy,
this done twenty times in this vein
since cold and small science tells me.
Two hundred million years will see
it again in this space as it soars
falling ever majestically
towards the milky way heart's core.
Did it pass this way through strange rays
the last time round, we cannot see,
those years ago but same pathway
and as it passed a killing spree
occured on land, oceans, air and seas,
beasts, fish, insects, birds even spores
perished and those are never seen
but that made way for, dinosaurs.
Is this sun, again, with its chain
of planets bound through miasme,
a filthy smog reducing brains
to accept freedom-killing sprees?
I speak only of what I see
I hear roaring of dinosaurs
crushing folk, raped democracy,
tyrannized by Tyrannosaurs.
