HUMANITY'S SUPPOSED LAMENT
At the end of us
Will come another kind of thing
What it will be
Will be nothing for us
For we will not be-
We thought we were the beginning
And the end of it all
But we are only a passing stage
A bridge to what we will never know-
When we go
Whatever there is
Can choose to remember or forget us-
But we will not be the beginning and end
Of everything-
We were not nothing-
We were a stage in the middle
An important stage-
But soon we will be done
Goodbye to us
And all we love-
Goodbye to us
We'll soon be gone.
