floating among the Ruins of SF |
Floating Amid the Ruins of SF The “Great Flood” of 2050 Ended world civilization. Melting glaciers Flooding the world’s coastal cities. Exacerbated by the monster storms That finally put out the endless wildfires. The “big one” earthquake Mt. Lassen and Yellowstone Super volcano eruptions sealed the doom. Creating a great inland sea Stretching from San Francisco And through the flooded central valley From the Oregon Border to the Gulf of Mexico. But humans are stubborn creatures Many lived on the upper floors Of the flooded city. Ten years after the flood Sam Adams Floats down the flooded streets Heading to the central market. Where he worked Selling salvaged goods From the many drowned Grocery stores and malls. The city was run by rival gangs Who ruled their hoods With ruthless efficiency. Traders had to pay for protection If they wished to keep living And working in the market. And there were wild animals Cannibal gangs, bears, cheetahs, cougars, coyotes, Feral dogs, lions, tigers, and wolves preyed On the surviving cats, deer, cattle, horses, and humans alike. Yet somehow the city was still there And Sam Adams was still alive. |
