 There was a new world

 A future for all

 Just an endless fall
 Everyday in the news
 Just as we were told

 Failure to behold
 Everyday a nightmare
 And we didn't believe
 Nowadays it's too late
 We are left to grieve

 Blind to evidence
 Forgetful of laws of nature
 Leaving it to chance
 The rage to carry on
 Sheer stupidity
 Because there is
 No such thing as infinity
