Because A Rock Crashed
After the asteroid hit.
It was bright
then it was dark.
The ground is now the sky,
because a rock crashed
and blinded the sun.
Mommy was here,
now she is not.
The cloud shallowed her up
because a rock crashed
and tossed up the ground.
Green is brown
and brown is death.
I am hungry but there isn't food anymore
because a rock crashed
blinding the sun which killed the plants.
My stomach is growling,
eating itself until there will be nothing left.
I am dying slowly
when I would have rather died quickly with Mommy
when the rock crashed.
Instead, I got to serve as a witness
to the blinded sun,
the shallowing cloud,
the green turning brown
and the rest of us starving.
