Last Ride Poem by Ima Ryma

My ship crash landed on the moon,
Only crew survivor is me.
I watch the Earth in my maroon,
Concerned of bigger destiny.
The mission we were sent upon
Was one of desperation to
Check out the dire phenomenon
Of why the moon was going through
A sure dangerous orbit change,
Closer to Earth each day gone by,
A gravitational pull strange,
The one and only question - why?

On the moon I take my last ride,
As closer to the Earth we slide.
