Retinas burn, as my eyes raise towards the dying star

Half devoured sky bleeds red, the death of a star begun

Billion times five, inner orbits set to solar flame

One with the star they die, melt to core, no remains

Oceans boil, steam rises, molten cracks reveal the boiling lava, =

Rising, in turmoil

Lifeless, planet barren, earth's last dying vapors, atmosphere =

Ignited, radiation burns away

A planet to breath, the earth gave shelter

The gift of the curse of life

Over evolved mind, consciousness raped

After four billion years, earth shaped, molded, contorted man

To become a scar, a black page in the planet's history

Did he self - destruct, turn inward on himself

Or tap the awesome power growing deep

Within the recess of his mind

Cycle of fire commences, radiation of the sun ejected outward, last =

Cry

Earth a corpse now lies fallen, life burnt back to carbon

Freed from man forever, gone or in flight through the void

What will be...
