The Eight Planets
Somewhere in space there was a sun
It had 8 planets that all spun
Around and around they went
Space and time were bent
Bent by a force named gravity
A little solar system in a vast galaxy
Mercury was closest to the star
It was the smallest planet by far
After that came Venus
Extreme heat was its uniqueness
Then came a place called Earth
A blue marble where life had given birth
Mars was fourth in line
It had tall red mountains to climb
Next up was gas giant Jupiter
2.5x bigger than all others put together
Saturn came after that
It had beautiful rings to gaze at
Uranus was number seven
An ice giant where everyday frost was given
The last one was Neptune
A blue world with 14 frozen moons
The sun was the life source of them all
A massive hydrogen and helium ball
The solar system lasted for 10 billion earth years
Until the red giant vaporized all 8 spheres
It was beautiful while it lasted
It was beautiful when everything blasted
Brought up amongst contrasting cultural worlds I seek to continuously understand more about the troubling yet beuatiful existnece of human life in this bizzare and mezmerizing universe of ours. 😀
