|
The sum of our ignorance, they submit their reports |
|
Year after year, information is suppressed |

|
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 |
