An atomic age
had dawned on us.
A burst of scintillating energy
fanned through the midnight sky.

No one
was spared,
we all ran
for cover.

Down to our basements
and bomb shelters.
Most of those left died
with the bites of great black flies.

The utter destruction
had left us paralyzed.
We didn't have the time to think.
Our leaders all had lied.

Opulence and greed,
with morals so degrading.
Led to our downfall on that day
we'd regret this day.forever!

Our civilization passed us by,
on that gloomy day.
Nothing then was sacred
we'd given up our choices.

For ten thousand years
we'd wait for a rebirth.
Elon Musk in a shuttle
had fled from earth.

We who would remain
would see a great bright light.
Descending down from heaven
to soothe the darkened night!
