All That Glisters





two neutron stars collide
billions of years ago

cosmic violence
produces planets  with  gold




when we deplete our resources
we will mine more from other planets
unless a giant meteorite zaps us
and showers us to smithereens

all the gold trinkets
wont seem  important after all

    We do seem intent on destroying our own planet, leaving the meteorite with nothing to zap!

    True enough - all that glistens is inside

    What goes around comes around--it seems balance is nature's design. Pow!

    If we get smashed by a meteorite, we will become gold!

    Nope...we are a planet not a neutron star.

    I love the last two lines...all the gold, the love, the power - none of it will matter. Excellent write. Toni spencer is ToniKanzen.
