on the way to next world

More than a hundred feet long to start
enough to make the dinosaurs depart,
wasn't there to see the final impact
but am here to see what's left intact..


We'd talk about spoils of the fruit we pick
parley about vocations we'd find that stick;
unwanted jobs that haunt us from one day to next
prevent us from our search for a treasured quest...


search for benign bodies that fly the skies
rocky chunks from an asteroid belt up on high
eventually to take the breath of existence away
an astronomer will want to call shots that day...

that it takes one more than a hundred feet long
that would resonate as the last emperor's gong...
throughout world countries far and wide
the smallest beast hasn't a chance to hide...

except, they say, for the rat in the sewer
who'd mutate best as earth's spit would skewer,
the flesh of our existence to a recorded past
that two legged creature came and went so fast..

You're getting close!
Not sure I understand the meaning to this, but I did enjoy the read.
