I will beg the question again,
Will our pots and pans still be here in 10,000 years?
What about our dwellings?
They say they will last,

Will our pots and pans still be here in 10,000 years?
I know our dwellings aren’t;
they say they will last,
100, maybe three. But I give them 30 or 40, maybe 50 years ago, they lasted 100 or three.

We are so clever storing them in thousands of places, hoping the love of the work keeps them safe.

What about our Art?
What happens when no one is willing or able to copy them again?

But if all that metal security that encodes our work brittle away in less than a century, does it matter?

Oh, and about that metal security, how easily do we throw them away or replace them?

The only thing they will leave behind is poisons and scars from less than 2 or 3 years of use.

We pride ourselves on our way of life, from our tablets to our phones, our computers, and even our lightbulbs.

No grand works for us, no pyramids, no cave arts, no broken pots and daggers.

The segment will only remember the corpses and poisons we use to build them.

No one will know of our grand works in 10,000 years.

I hope we will build something that last 10,000 years,
No one will know of our grand works in 10,000 years,
Sadly, few others dream of building something that will last 10,000 years.
