Our Satellites will Fall
Our satellites will all fall to the earth
Orbits and ideologies decay
What are all these toys and noisy launchings worth
When all to gravity can only give way
Even sparrows must fall, to God’s dismay
And we and all our vanities must die
How will we answer on our final day
For our machines and machinations that lie
And when the last has fallen from the sky
Will anyone be alive to wonder why?

A poem is itself.
