Analysis of One Day, The Earth Moved Again



One day, the earth moved again,
And the sun shone once more.

The farmer could till what was now
His usable field.
The ground was very productive.
He was driven from madness
To blissful gladness.

Two powerful men agreed to have peace.
Nuclear weapons and insecurity were no more.
Fertile lands-
Growing greens-
Expanding civilization-
Booming population-
Prosperous trade-
Advanced technology-
Better medicines-
Space travel-
War and violence no longer exists-
No more hatred or suspicion.

One day the world started to whir,
And the stars sparkle once again.

About this poem

I wrote this poem as a sequel to my prized poem, "One Day, The Earth Stood Still". It has the same format. I forgot when I wrote it.
