Ultima Cumaei Venit Iam Carminis Aetas

Trust in the future's the sole
Backing for the world's riches.
We bank on numbers growing--
Head counts and resource units
Converting world into us,
Us into ideas of us,
Ideas of us into more

Of us and our bright ideas.
Pyramid begun in stars
Grows at the base or crumbles,
And we are the base, mere beasts
Cursed with counting, accounting,
Accountability, gods'
God, the crushing weight of one.
