The Answer
Something went wrong,
the world turned against us.
Some said it was we that did it,
some thought it was God
or a Global entropy,
however it was all theory.
People died or went quietly mad
while watching TV
or shopping at the Piggly Wiggly.
Eventually it came to pass
that we began to understand
that the planet itself was a living being
and we were the actual virus.
The world was experimenting
with ways to fumigate itself.
We fought to kill it before it killed us.
We won.
