The Unavoidable Silence

I stare down at Earth every single day.
I watch it grow and I watch it decay.
I give it warmth and I give it light.
I constantly help it sustain life.
I laugh as the humans fight amongst themselves,
wondering when the Earth will turn into Hell.
They fight many battles and many wars.
Their entire existence, I abhor.
I'm very surprised that they're still alive.
It is amazing how they have survived.
Unfortunately for them, I am growing old,
slowly and steadily getting more and more cold.
Humans quickly try to fly out into space,
but the panic causes them to make mistakes.
Their space shuttle never makes it off the ground.
The hopelessness and despair become profound.
Earth and it's inhabitants will soon die.
I can already hear their desperate cries.
The planet gives off one last brooding lament,
and the galaxy finally goes silent.
