Humanity, the sequel, version two,
Would crumble if it made the same mistakes.
Aggression? Gone, renounced, because we knew
That when we crash together something breaks.
Deciding that societies should spread,
To keep conflicting factions far apart,
The moment any problem reared its head
The Separation Protocol would start.
No matter what the reason, what the cause,
More distance was the concept we devised.
The governing foundation of our laws
Could never be repealed, reviewed, revised.
We celebrate a system working well,
Confined, divided, each inside a cell.
