Smash
The ball leaves the stadium; the crowd stands up in awe
A perfect hit
The round baseball soars high into the sky leaving behind the world it once knew
It leaves the green grass the tall trees and the rolling white lush clouds behind
The earth watches in awe
Chaos
It enters the Earth atmosphere again, hot charred and black
landing on green grass setting all in its path ablaze
the streets are inflamed the houses melt, the people run through the street
Chaos
A figure approaches, picks up the blaze of flames
Smash
The ball leaves the earth again
Its tail leaving a streak of fire through the night sky
Sprinkling ashes over the united neighborhoods
Chaos
It enters, setting fire to the left over ashes
This time burning beautiful communities to the ground
Destroying trust and love
Who will Smash the ball again?
