Surely in the distant future historians will find our civilization Appalling, destructive, gluttony, Stricken. Receipts of items that once fulfilled our temporal desires will fill earth creating a toxic compost for life To nourish upon They'll blame us for the decay And devolution of man They'll duly note our fascination With stimulants and violent trends And most of all, they'll be unable To comprehend our impotency our hubris our clemency They'll construct theories That moor our cultural malaise To each recrudescence of tyranny
In essence they will despise our very nature. Not out of contempt but out of fear that they too will fall prey to the plague.
