Go nuts.","content":"Society stood proud and gleamed,\n\nThey had the world and more it seemed.\n\nThey conquered space and cured disease,\n\nThough this was long ago.\n\nHowever, peace is always fleeting,\n\nNever firm, the calm receding.\n\nSpecies seemed to stop agreeing,\n\nThough this was long ago.\n\nAchievements made were now undone,\n\nDiscoveries were used as guns.\n\nExplosions played a requiem,\n\nThough this was long ago.\n\nThe fires drew maliciously,\n\nCrimson hues of blood dyed cities.\n\nLandscape too, was scorched and empty,\n\nThough this was long ago.\n\nThe factions fighting soon agreed,\n\nTheir methods seemed a bit unclean.\n\nThey switched instead to chemistry.\n\nThough this was long ago.\n\nDecades passed without a treaty,\n\nFresh air was now toxicity,\n\nA gas mask now the joie de vivre.\n\nThough this was long ago.\n\nNow the world no longer gleamed,\n\nwar now seemed to be so fleeting.\n\nWith nothing left to be undone,\n\nThough this was long ago.\n\nThe species warred maliciously.\n\nthen past and present did agree,\n\nit was time to make a treaty,\n\nAnd life will never grow.\n\nThe end :D\n\n  \n  \n\n"}
