Not Earth | A 100 Word Story

#362 National Poetry Month – 30 Days 30 Poems

We looked to the sky for their sign
They said keep watch, help was coming
Two decades gone and not a word or signal
Hope dashed away on the tale end of stars

Every night a comet flies by
We are planets away left alone and abandoned
Waiting for hope to eventually come
Have they forgotten us like the setting of the sun

On a mission to find life
Instead we rather end life
None of us wanted this life
Where is our promised new life?

In the dust of a forgotten planet
Look beyond the stars to find us.
