The Galaxy
When our galactic system
sighs to a frozen halt in space
do you think there will be some remnant
of beauty, of the human race?
Do you think there will be some vestige,
or a sniffle, or a tear?
do you think a greater thinking being
will give a damn, that man was here?
About this poem
Just a thought about thinking about our galaxy.
