This is an end of the world poem which talks about death of the star in our solar system that is sun. Hope you like it.

The death of a star
/
The sky was awash in the deepest violets and the faintest oranges
Giving the evening a deathly glow.
The last inhabitants of planet Earth were gathered by the ocean
Desperate to board the spacecraft to their future home.
/
Bundled in snow jackets and mufflers and thick boots
They awaited with the nervous anticipation laced with scared desperation
Of a being escaping into the wild to save their lives
As their once bright yellow-orange sun breathed some of it’s last glows on the way to it’s deathbed.
/
Soon they would catch one final glimpse of their dying star
As they whizz out of their solar system,
Finally on their way to a brighter future
Being greenlit by a brand new star in another solar system.
-Armaan
