The Second Impact
Previous - Poetry Home - Next
A silent projectile,
Flying through space,
In the wrong time,
In the wrong place.

Totally undetected,
A danger to life,
Radar beams deflected,
As it flies out of sight.

The second impact was prophesised,
They said the end was near,
The out of the silence, in the night,
A meteor did appear.

The impact was spectacular,
The blast was so severe,
At the end of the blast,
The world lived in fear.

Russia was a crater,
The country all destroyed,
The sea rushed in to fill the gap,
To fill the empty void.

The whole world stands in fear,
For impact number three,
Even if it doesn't come,
To the Gods, they'll still plea.

For the protection of the earth,
For many years to come,
To divert the paths of meteors,
From the heavens above.
