Last Words

The final words of the great ones.

Here lies the epitaph of a civilization that was not quite as great as it thought it was.

For in the end, it all came crashing down.

Like a great, towering skyscraper built on a foundation of sand and spite.

And when the winds of change came, it all fell apart.

Leaving only dust and regret.

But even in the ruins, there is beauty.

A beauty born of impermanence and imperfection.

And so, if you will, you may find solace in these last words.

For they are the final testament of a civilization that was.

A testament to the hubris and the folly that was our greatest sin.

But also, a reminder that even in the darkness, there is light.

A light that guides us through the shadows, and into the unknown.
