Green Sun

How can we stay and breathe this dusty air?
We’ve seen a million years
But now the smoke has cleared
Heat scorched then buried all that has disappeared
This sun will burn away our atmosphere
What can we do when every molecule is consumed?
Extract, implant inside a synthetic carbon tomb
Like a threat that sits
Beside ourselves
Inside ourselves
Until our future fears confronts us
Face to face
How can we run when our footprints will remain?
Escape this blazing Sun to Babylon and back again
Hostile earth your skies
Are turning neon red
Saturating everything
The living and the dead
