Sense Sonnet - Chiller

 Out of Breath

We came to this world long ago

When life upon was primitive,

And over time we came to know

This world on which we chose to live.

But now I captain the last ship

To take remaining of us who

Will head back home on the long trip.

There's nothing left for us to do.

Life upon this world did evolve,

Invented toxins to appear,

Killing life before we could solve

The unbreathable atmosphere.

A few humans we take along

To study more on what went wrong.
