Some Say An 'Asteroid'

Some say an asteroid
And others a sulphur sea-
Some say we will do it to ourselves 
And others claim it is only a matter of nature’s time-
The sun will burn itself out 
And earth will be eaten in the fire-


Some say it will not be us who goes on
But something else which came from us, 
And that far from Earth 
What we are will continue 
In countless different directions. 


I don’t know what will be with us.
I know before we know
I will die- 
And all the questions of our end will be open 
When my case is forever closed.


Another organism primate- hunter- man- machine 
Humanity by itself alone 
Has not saved.
