But What If.........

Tilting on its' axis it hangs there in space
spinning faster and faster each year it seems
and we take for granted  this earthly place
will always be there for us as human beings.
                        But what if:
         It should one day tilt too far
         and slip from its' spot in the Universe
         spinning toward some distant star
         caused by cataclysmic / curse or worse
         
                             OR://
        an asteroid on a deadly path
        spinning toward some distant star
        no weapons know to stop this terrible wrath
        caused by cataclysmic pause/or worse.
        
        Earth hangs precariously dangling there in space
            as it has done for billions of years
            but What If: just one of those things
       it would serve as of of mankind's greatest fears.

       Terra Firma  'neath our feet
             taken for granted .....one should not
             for one day it will disappear - tout suite!
             we are racing against...a deadly clock.
