Like humans going about their days
unconcerned about being decimated,
the dinosaurs went about their days
as a massive asteroid was on the way.
Like humans feeling like they’re forever,
the dinosaurs probably felt the same
until the impact of fires and explosions
destroyed them and their world, never
to inhabit it again, all terminally dead.
If the unexpected extinction happened
to them, why wouldn’t it happen to us?
Maybe like the long gone dinosaurs,
were on the cusp of extinction and
only a single massive asteroid away.
