The Man-kind<br />
Rex Davies<br />
Chief science officer<br />
I have to report:<br />
The Man-kind was here.<br />
As usual, the world itself is recovering.<br />
Small mammals dominate the ecosystem<br />
Which once having purged herself with plague & pestilence<br />
Luxuriates everywhere, even the dead zones.<br />
The customary close sift of digital detritus, however<br />
Revealed this document describing<br />
How, when archaeologists<br />
From the future arrive (like us, sir!)<br />
Long after the man-kind died<br />
Then our extensive analysis<br />
Of flora, fauna and fused file-space<br />
Will conclude that “the poets really nailed it”.
