Andromeda Galaxy 3500 AD

An intergalactic traveler
from Andromeda's planet Ray
landed on Earth one fine day,
an abandoned planet
in the galaxy of the Milky Way,
he found an old diary in its debris
giving some light on its mystery,
an amazing and fascinating story
about a civilization's rise and fall
into total destruction from glory,
it seems there once existed
a strange and brilliant human race
endowed with intellect, talent and grace,
a culture so extraordinary sublime
they bordered on the divine,
but for worldwide pollution,
overcrowding and wars
they found no solution,
with a shortage of food, water and oil
they diminished those treasures
on their limited and exploited soil
and nation fought nation
for raw materials
and to prevent starvation,
in a worldwide nuclear war
resulting in mankind's elimination
and all living organisms' cessation,
the only record left was the diary
with its sinister commentary.
