Jan 2012
The first to fall were fortunate
in the eyes of the survivors.
The whole world smelled of brimstone,
as the shock wave toppled spires.

A huge Tsunami swept the shores
of Asia and the Pacific.
Although no newscasts captured it
the losses were horrific.

The world grew cold,most food crops
failed. Gangs of humans fought.
In the aftermath of impact
all their self interest sought.

With several Billion humans dead,
extinctions by the score.
Gaia sought to heal her wounds
that life could rise once more.
A cautionary tale of what might befall us if a Comet were to impact into the Pacific Ocean.   This is the sort of problem that ruined the day for T-Rex and his friends 65 million years ago.
