This spinning orb glues us down
Planted on this habitat we call home
In moonlight, tides rock back and forth
Overcrowded, yet hunter/gatherers we roam
—
Invisible forces, magnetic pulses
Trusting what cannot be seen
Billions of stars alone in space
More perfect than any machine
—
The human heart is the only true power
Thermo, nuclear, chemical reactions
Natural laws weaponized for greed
Destiny teetering on mortal redactions
—
Each day, borrowing against the future
Reducing infinite into finite
Maybe just a speed bump to extinction
In the heavens, a dimming light
