For Humanity's Sake

I’ve seen pictures of earth being scorched to death,
Sun expanding in size, bringing life to an end.
You may think why to care, it is so far away,
It’ll take billion years for the sun reach our place.
So if future of earth is so bleak, it's condemned,
Dear friends, don’t you think it is time we made plans,
It is time we were wise, started search for new place,
Through the vast universe we could travel in space,
In large ships borne in time generations will stay,
Generations will die for humanity’s sake,
Till new planet is found which our life will sustain.

About this poem:
Just watched a documentary on NatGeo, bordering on science fiction, but very much close to reality after all.

Hi Mike, thanks for your interest. Sorry, I don't know the name of the documentary, and it was some time ago, but you can watch this story if you don't mind:
