April 3—Look at the sky!

April 3—Look at the sky!


One day the world woke up
To the impending end
As a new asteroid.

Quickly dubbed
The doomsday asteroid
Headed to Earth.

Everyone looked up
At the doomsday asteroid
As the world scrambled
To send space missiles
To blow it away.

Brazilians, Chinese, the EU, Koreans, Japanese, Iraqis,
Iranians UAE, Israel,. Indians, Pakistanis, Russians, Saudis,
South Africans, Russians, and Ukrainians.

50 nations all joined the IPDF.
Including to everyone’s surprise
The elusive enigmatic North Koreans.

All join together under a newly formed.
International Planetary Defense Force
Under the auspices of the UN.

NASA provided the executive leadership
The others all provided parts of the ship,
The software, hardware, and nuclear bombs.

The ship would be unmanned
And was launched worldwide
Interest as everyone watched
Hoping for the best.

The bombs worked
The asteroid was blown away
With some minor Metroid damage

The IPDF vowed to remain ever-vigilant
And fully funded, with a new mission.

Setting up permanent space colonies
In space stations, the moon, Mars,
The moons of Jupiter and Saturn.

Vowing to have them set up by 2030!
Using the latest AI-generated
Research.

The goal to have over 50,000 people
Living and working off the planet.

One of the rare international ventures
That survived the new multi-power
Global great power conflicts.
