So Close..

 
A statistic arose and cooly announced,
"You are gripped by a moral paralysis!"
Experts clucked, and brushed it aside,
And promised it later analysis.

A reasoned conjecture astutely declared,
"Your path leads to self-destruction!"
Specialists scoffed, "Ridiculous!"
You're merely a skittish deduction!"

A lucid conclusion forthrightly maintained,
"You're contriving your own extinction!"
Consultants assessed it hysterical,
Thus unable to make a distinction.

Finally, confirmation arrived
With clear proof of Man's destined fate,
But the smoking, cratered landscape sighed,
"Sorry, pal, you're five minutes too late."
