In Formation - Tragedy

They juggle their numbers, they examine their charts

The sum of our ignorance, they submit their reports

Year after year, information is suppressed

After years of toil and strife and decades of debate

The equation is solved correctly, all scientists

Finally agreed, happily report their findings

Too late to turn back now happily report

Report their findings: all life will cease to be

The defeat of mankind lies not in their answers

But in the question that we never asked in

The arrogance of our waste, in the knowledge we refused

To retain and when the waves hit again, with baffled

Blankness they’ll stare, clutching their possessions to their

Watery grave, destruction no technology could save

Nature’s final lesson: no one shall be spared
