A rich seam of tinfoil and contact lenses
Records a vain empire of greed and paper.
A thousand marks of gorging cut deep but
The bones of the Earth are made of sterner stuff.
Inscribed in dirt is a rich tale of creation
But no-one will analyse the downfall of man;
A speck of dust in a library of unread tomes.
We will not endure.
