2040: Brave New World Poem by Balint Nagy

The Oceans have dried out
We've ruined all the things we can't live without
Defeated by ourselves
We are immature, mortal after all

Tell me my brother
Do you remember?
On mother Earth
We're only passengers
Yet we kept killing her!

Now we are watching the forest fire
Burning down our empire
Oh, how utopian that a spark,
Can turn everything into dark

The Oceans have dried out
We've ruined all the things we can't live without
Defeated by ourselves
We are immature, mortal after all

Now that there is no future
We are only desperate creatures
Cannot say we haven't been warned
But did we really never know?
Or did we just ignore the fact,
That our darkest nightmare will be coming true?
Heavy is the price we have to pay
Because we were asleep at the time of "hurricanes"

The Oceans have dried out
We've ruined all the things we can't live without
Defeated by ourselves
We are immature, mortal after all
