A mystic light-like meteor
Dashed over the countryside as if to score
All were in awe
For those who witnessed and saw
And nothing stayed the same
Pear and apple trees so rotten,
The cow went lame
The corn turned green
Famine and heat as the grass dried lean
Tree leaves too turned brown
People left, the village now a ghost town
For days the chickens laid no eggs
Only the caterpillars and the pest had a million legs
And farmer’s wife went into deep depression
As if she met the spooky ghost at dreamy session
Maybe the cosmic rays from a planetoid
Turned tables and created natures’ void
Or the riveting energy from a meteor
Brought this disaster to the core
Or perhaps a warning of another planet in outer space
Are responsible for the damage, ready to take our place.
