Inside The Glass Dome

'Gather here everyone

the show will begin soon

said the man at the ticket booth

beneath the silver moon

And I was standing in the crowd

sandwiched in the middle

thoguh to the colossal stadium,

our pack, it looked quite little

Today was the day, the significant day

for which with due respect

the world had much looked forward to

thus all were posh and decked

And people poured like grains of sand

women, child and all

men from all across the world

were gathered in that hall

And finally the curtains rolled

the drums did loudly beat

as the world watched expectantly

clutching to their seat

Inside the tiny dome of glass

it stood there, tall and lean

its body was of golden white

and crowned with freshly green

So brittle it looked, they held their breath

and necks craned to see

a spectacle that stood alone

alas, the Earth's last tree
