Pen to the Paper 7
Write with absolutely no plan whatsoever. It can be a story, a poem, or anything else: it truly doesn't matter. You don't have to use your first draft: do as many drafts as you see fit. Remember to have fun!
Planetary Destruction
One small step for man,
One large leap towards ruin,
As we can never stop reaching
For the stars that are not ours.
We aim for civilizations
And planets that are not our own.
Looking for farther and farther solutions
To the problems we face,
To the problems we made.
We harness electricity,
We discover oil,
We destroy our planet
Just to satisfy
Those what-ifs,
Those whispers at the back of our mind.
Just to appease
The curiosity that destroys
What we are working so hard to save.
