At the outset
The sun rose from the East
Constantly shinning in its journey
To the West, illuminating our world.
In the beginning,
The stars existed
With some bursting forth
Into prominence
In a marriage with the moon
For the purpose of
Illuminating our world
Then there was a war

A raw brawl that was raw
And later became a real war
Some saw it as climate change
Some saw it as environmental war,
Because in our environment,
It was not just the change on the climate,
Though we did not see it at the beginning,
But we saw the earth surface turn red
As some stars fell flat upon our planet earth
And their life flowed freely
From all pores
Wrecking our psyche
And poking our intellect
Assaulting sulci, the groove of our being
Bringing about depressions
On our ventricular grooves
That prove
Our heartbeat is right
Just because the sun changed its course
