Hour 8: Summary of Seveneves

Once upon a time the moon
Was broken into seven pieces.
The world watched on in horror
As the danger increases.
A man proclaimed the world would end
In a glittering white rain
For five thousand years the sky would fall
Nothing would ever be the same again.
Many people were sent to space
To gather all together
On the international space station
To escape the fateful weather.
As the world did end, chaos ensued
Mutiny was attempted and lost
But many of the last humans alive
Were killed, a very high cost.
In the end only seven remained
To repopulate the earth.
Seven women with strife between them
Had to all, but one, give birth.
Time went on, millenniums,
And finally the time came.
To go back down to earth
Which wasn’t quite the same.
Technology had soared,
With cities in the sky
An elevator and a tether
That people traveling to earth could ride.
A group of seven people
Who each descended from a line
Of the seven eves
Who’s futures would entwine.
They traveled as a group to earth
Learning in epic waves.
They met another group of folk
Who had lived underground, in caves.
A clash ensued and then betrayed
By one of their seven.
The one who did betray them
Rode a hammer into the heavens.
The people who were left
Made their way to the sea
Where a new surprise awaited
Just what would it be?
As the story did unfold, they found
An underwater clan
They came up from the watery depths
To meet the group on land.
A link in the form of a picture
Was flashed silently up high
The underwater people,
Their eyes opened wide.
In the end they came together
Made peace between the nations.
The three groups made up the whole
Of the human population.
