Years of darkness, the sunlight gone

Blocked out by the dust of civilization's incineration, or was it the Earth-shattering impact of an asteroid?

The smoke rose and blocked out the sun

Mankind's loss a mixed blessing

The grain has ceased to grow, generations forgotten in soot

Holes in the ozone, replete in skin cancer

The cataracts are blinding

The food supply has been frozen in summer

The seasonal shift is blinding

Following the settling of the aerosol, the sun re-emerges, blinding

Greenhouse warming is exponential

What life has yet survived, freezing in deformation, is now seared to death

The surface temperature is burning...

Not even our self-important corpses remain

The lonely oceans sit, spewing methane
