In cities we swarm,
In towns we dwell,
In suburbs we fester.
Roads connect us,
Fences separate us,
Technology enchants us.
But somewhere...
Long fled from memory,
The Dark Forest waits...
A strange and alien realm
Though we once knew it well.
Ancient yet enduring,
Shadowing civilization,
For us to remember...
Before the end.
