The World Then And Now

The world you once knew is gone

It's positively no more

The usual sights and smells are gone

Only to be replaced with the smell of rotting garbage

And giant craters in the ground

Because you were too busy doing whatever it was you were doing up in space

Or you were locked up in a vault with hundreds of other people

To protect you from the end of the world or whatever is left of it

As the humans learn to integrate with one another once more

They learn to get on with one another and populate the earth once more
