World Called Earth Poem by graham russell

the ships flee the planet below
as the world rips itself apart
it, s death throes for all to see

the ships flee into space
speeding away from the
dying world behind them

as a world battled amongs
it, s self trying to keep hold
as land sank below ocean
blues

mountains topped from the sky
ground crumbled into depths
as cracks appeared in the earth
a world dying of old age

as ships get far enough away
bring engines to a stop
to watch this world collaspe
finally tear it, s self apart

this world called home
a world called earth
