A brave new world.

A wonderful utopia,

or an apocalyptic dystopia?

The world is moving forward,

everything is still disordered.

So much energy, so much power,

all coming down to the sun's last hour.

Enough resources, populations stabilize,

no longer humans, just data lines.

Independence for all, you are your own boss!

No more love, vanished has Eros.

A dash of soma, we're all in heaven!

When it wears off, a rise in aggression.

But there's no need to mope,

because there's always hope.

Even if we're emotionless and our minds have been hurled,

We all keep our heads up high and say,

It's a brave new world!
