Earth Is a Cancer Cell
By, Donia Schenkels
Earth is a cancer cell
It's true, take it from me
We are a part of something so much greater
So grand
If you take the size of the Earth,
just from the sky, we are the size of ants
Marching to and fro,
what for?
Work hard, play hard
Now we're in space
Yes,
Earth is visible
Humans no longer seen
We know we are here
If we see Earth from space,
we know we are here
Further and further we go
Way up high now
Compared to the sun,
Earth is now simply a dot
Sirius,
Pollux,
Arcturus
the Earth has vanished
no longer seen
though we know it's there
a cell,
compared to these incomprehensibly large stars
Earth is just a cell
A cancer cell
Everyday we have the power,
for better or for worse
We can change the fate
this cancer cell we're living in
We feel so small,
so powerless
is there any meaning to our being
but like I said before,
part of something grand
grander beyond imagination
We can heal this cancer cell
Our purpose
To work together
Create a world within a cell
A world grander than
Sirius,
Pollux,
Or even Arcturus
We have a purpose in this grand universe.
About the Creator

Just a poet that knows it doesn’t rhyme with poet.
I like to focus on our modern world in my writing, because let’s face it, if schools want to teach poetry, make it useful and understandable to today’s students. Language changes with time.
