I don't have much to say about this poem. I wrote it during the aftermath of hearing word of the devastating story that NASA publicly released on Thursday 6th of February 2014.
It takes an open mind to believe the story of the poem, but the horrific truth is that it is reality.
I don't have any dedications for this one, of course.
But I would like to add, I was devastated...
The horror that emerges from the tip of his tongue;
Devastation: before our humanity had even begun.
When prehistoric tigers roamed Pangaea still
A civilization of intelligence, at their will;
To meet a certain apocalyptic fate
80,000 years on, we were too late.
A planet condemned to failure at once.
Andromeda’s stars: awaiting a response.
Too long to reveal the answers Kulakov neared;
An intergalactic cry for help remained unheard.
Devastation: igniting a world in one.
Now, just a ball of fire. A doom upon.
Never to know the fear they endured..
A lifetime already gone before.
A species unknown, acknowledged their fate.
Now, they are gone..
We were too late.
