Alas

The scientists told us we needed to save Them. We didn't listen. They told us after They were extinct we would have 4 years to live. We didn't listen.


Then, there was One left. The scientists tried to save Her; tried to clone Her but it was no use. We should have listened.


They gave us four years. It has been two years now, and all sea life is dead, as well as most livestock and the majority of the plant life. The poor are dropping like flies; so sad that in this metaphor there are no flies alive. The rich are fighting over what resources we have left; mostly oxygen.


I won't live long now; the air is too thin and my body too depraved of food. They tried to warn us, the scientists.... they really did. But alas it was too late.


We should have saved the bees.
