It is the year 2089 and I am 78 years old.
Earth has been nuked to hell, a real sight to behold.

Earlier though, I suffered from a terminal sickness.
My family cared so they hired the best of the best, with quickness.

My sickness lost the battle and I felt fine.
But the extreme treatment made me go comatose for a long time.

The last thing I saw was my daughter's face.
Now I'm awake, 46 years later, and she is without a trace.

Everyone sees everyone else as one of a kind, their own.
While all I see is muscle and bone.

Don't think wrong of me because I see personalities, too.

I can see if they are loners, scammers, con artists, and very bad liars.

I know a lot about people and not even know them as you can see,

Some say that war is the answer

Others say it is not.

War riddles us like cancer.

How many bodies has it brought?
