Analysis of Planet Earth
Hello , hello is this where we are?
Just fumbling around , trying to catch that shiney Star.
Spinning forever in the dark moon's light ,
Cannot tell the difference between day and night .
Hello , hello say it's not so , Earths churning up thunder as howling winds blow.
Forces with fury I cannot explain,
come from within and spew down to it's plains .
Solar waves of energy try to penetrate its shield,
like a million Trojan warriors storming through it's fields.
Containing volumes and volumes of deep aquatic blue,
Coral , Red and Black just to name a few .
Ages and ages of assorted life forms,
evolve to extinction like mid summer storms.
Traveling counter clockwise on a backwards rotation ,
When will it stop ? Will we know that generation ?
