US.
The existential loneliness
An extraterrestrial feeling
Shaken and separated
A world reeling
The emptiness filled
All purified air
The creatures abound
Earth again shared
All left unentertained
All left thinking
Demons enter souls
An inevitable sinking
Governing bodies calm
Heavenly rises drop
An impending doom
Maybe full stop?
All over again
Another wave crashes
Can we learn
Rise from ashes
Tomorrow not known
Today barely here
Yesterday we tried
Maybe next year
Sealed or susceptible
Planet left unsure
Risk more angels?
Slam the door
Now open-ended
Examinations still remain
What once was
Or improved way
