What is this life but a shadow on the wall
A woman is shot in an Immigration hall
It sparks a revolution, an American civil war
The guns are a shooting, and will missiles soar
And heads of state topple, it's all enthrall
The livers of policemen hang like guttural
Cries of religion upon depleted market stalls
Back in England, we are digging up the past
Clans who once were destined, now given a second chance
Lost in insurrection America stumbles and falls
Russia are battering on Europe's backwall
And Suddenly we wake up as if a Carnix cry
The streets are a heaving we realize we don't want to die
And people begin to fight
America shrinks, but so does the world
Because they can't sell Soybeans to China
And So the Chinese stomachs wimper minor
Keys of pity
And though they try to invade Taiwan
Domestic starvation leads to economic wan
The lights go out in the city
Their tech companies cannot save them
For who can buy it but Americans
And the dollar is crumbling
And Russia have hit back,
The US satellites are tumbling
After a Russian missile attack
So then the infrastructure of the world is in collapse
And the world wide web is in shreds
Like the spiders have been given up for dead
And have left the secret skills of weaving under wraps
I'm still holding out for a solution
But Then the nukes start to launch
And what isn't left in dire pollution
Has suddenly got torched
And not to put too finer point
On the end of 2026
But those of us who do wake up
Need our weetabix
Slowly oh so slowly
We begin to feel and move
And There is food,
But it is local only grown
where there's technology it's only crude
And travel is anathema to any common sense
Because when you leave the confines of your country's fence
You realize everywhere's in ruins
And you might as well build strong your home
And it really did take all those years
To build up the city of Rome
So we talk to our neighbour because
Only half the world survived
And we learn how to treat them better
And how to live better lives
