Nothing new under the sun

Back in nineteen eighty two

They predicted we were all through

All the planets would align

This would be the end of time  

 

The force of all this stress

Would leave the Earth a total mess

As gravities pull became too hard

And we collapse like a house of card

 

But what we fail to recognize

Is the Earth was built to Survive

And has been hanging here in space

Five billion years in this one place

 

I’m sure that the planets have all aligned before

Once or twice or even more

And the Earth is still spinning around the sun

And our moon it still joins the fun

 

So worry not when people cry

For we all are about to die

And even when man's time is gone

The world we named Earth will spin on

 

Turning quietly here in space

And just maybe evolving a brand new race

As in the past was the dinosaur

the circle of life has passed before

 

Our stay upon the Earth is short enough

Without worrying about celestial stuff

So enjoy your days before they end  

And we return to dust my friend…

In a list

Please tell me what you think

    What a great write. The flow is simply superb. I'm a little young to remember 1982, but i remember in '99 when everyone thought the world would end.

    I have to agree with you wholeheartedly... the earth was made to survive, when we think people used to believe the earth was flat, little realising just how unique a planet we live on. There is nothing more beautiful than the view the astranaughts had of the beautiful blue and white jewel they looked down on.
    I enjoyed reading this, thank you for the opportunity of being able to share your thoughts.

    Very wise write!

    Wow, how I would have missed reading this hadnt u stopped by!!! its wonderful! Its silly isnt it about people talking about the end of the world, its said umpteen times before. I like the reference you made about the dinosaurs, true, who knows one day we might just all vanish like them, and there might be some other life here. Very wise write and I liked it to the core. And so you rhyme??? LOL! I have missed being here as often like before. i shall send u an email soon. Take care and hope all is well with u and Cindy and the kids.

    Love and light,
    Lencio
