“ long ago retired to history books and now
Wikipedia pages that so neatly summarize”

And finally, I can no longer not fear, to pages that may never be written, if written, may never be printed, If printed, may never be read, as leisure and paper and learning and concern for others and all resources that once defined humanity find greater, lesser purpose in yet another eternity of the one-day cycle of survival.

A sad poem on numerous levels. Thank you.
