Lucky Shot Poem by Ryan Joseph Holder

I take a breath
And close my eyes
I shoot for the stars
And aim for the sky
I shatter the moon
As it sprinkles among
My shot keeps on going
Right into the sun
The sun starts to swell
And mercury dies
Our deserts catch fire
Our oceans they dry
Our tundra’s they melt
Our bodies they boil
No more trees
And no more soil
Next goes Venus
In a gaseous explosion
And guess who's next
In this massive erosion
But before it can reach us
We shrivel and die
And it’s just too hot
For our tears to cry
We fall over dead
No skin to be shone
We're left as nothing
But a pile of bones
Amazing how all
Of this has got
All because
Of a lucky shot
