If the Earth Stopped Spinning

The earth keeps spinning
I keep living and
thinking on it
oblivious to the turns
and it amazes me
that I cannot feel
all those rotations
minute by minute
day by day
year by year

and it amazes me
that nobody gets dizzy
from that constant spin
and I wonder if the earth
will ever stop spinning
and what would happen
if it the earth ever did

would we all freak out
would the earth fall apart
would the weather
become unbearable
or completely unlivable

and if it did stop turning
like spinning a top
would God restart
the spinning back up

or would aliens rescue us
and with advanced tech
refire the spinning

I write that because
some people think
aliens invented us
and others think
they watch over us

meanwhile the earth
oblivious to my thoughts
keeps on spinning

Started writing poetry a little over a year ago; most poems I write are fictional but some are not. Spiritual with a permanent spiritual experience. Write poems on many subjects. Always researching for many of my poems and because of my unquenchable thirst for knowledge. After reading and hearing about many near death experiences and death bed visions, I believe death is the ultimate awakening and the relocation of a lifetime. You may believe differently, but you have the right to be wrong -- I'm just messing with you. :-) View all posts by BobBoyd
