Our flight had promise of the greatest worth
The future had been delayed, and even worse
We'd arrived at terminus, a final destination
Finding a future but one of pure emptiness
With not one single path forward
Trapped in an emotional starvation
We struggled for survival at best
We sought safety with nothing left
To dream is the highest aspiration
If we imagine our world in ascent
With our unleashed imaginations
As we watch the catastrophes happen
Our species has entered final descent
And we know we will never rise again
For our hubris has guaranteed our fall
Our abject ignorance has led to shame
When nothing like hope exists
Or if nothing good remains
Is it extinction or exhaustion
Or is it both
Do we persist, or twist
As we sway in the wind
