The h2g2 Poem

We Hereby Bequeath

We hereby bequeath to our descendants

A planet damaged by our own command

You have possession of the shattered remnants.


Hurricanes that chase bedraggled fragments

That once were houses over littered land

We hereby bequeath to our descendants.


When seas come surging into settlements

Submerging fields long tilled by human hand

You have possession of the shattered remnants.


Clouds of helpless, over burdened migrants

Who flee their villages engulfed in sand

We hereby bequeath to our descendants.


When deserts blaze through thirsty continents

And leave mere bones to mount a hopeless stand

You have possession of the shattered remnants.


The states that smash up lives with armaments

And cities swamped with drug-befuddled bands

We hereby bequeath to our descendants

You have possession of the shattered remnants.
