R.I.P. to the Nations!

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

No one
was spared,
we all ran
for cover.

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

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

Opulence greed,
with morals degraded.
Lead to our downfall
We'd regret this day.

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

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

We who remaind
would see a bright light.
Descending from heaven
to soothe the dark night!
