Solar Flares
Elise Okusami
I feel the weather change
Gets hotter every day
Feels like, Sun’s fixin’ to kill us
Sunspots duplicate
Solar flares on their way
Some day, magnetic annihilation
Society cannot stay
Not with things going this way
We'll run to find somewhere to survive
Through rocks and ash
Houses fading at our backs
Onward to something new
The lights fade
And the grid fails
The phones are down
No water to be found
We’ll strike out on our own
Trying to find a new home
If there’s one to be found
Unknown homeward bound
But it’s a long way to go
It’s a long way to go
So close your eyes
And find a way back home
It’s a long way to go
Off to parts unknown
So close your eyes
And find your way back home
