It is  2120, 102 years from now, a space traveler awakens in orbit around a planet following a long journey.  It is a cold and barren land, called Earth, and little is known about this place the traveler once called home, except for what can be found in a few old books left behind. The traveler doesn't know the language in the books as it is now long forgotten. Destruction was,  to put it mildly, total.  

What is left only resides in the mind of the traveler. Forever.

and the traveler sings:

I live in a heavily gated fortress. 
In the fortress are my things.
I live in a dystopian future
you only read about in books 
or see in movies.  
It wasn’t always this way. 
There was a time of prosperity,
at least it was written about 
in the remnants of texts 
taken years to decode 
since there were no more
schools making ignorance
the accepted norm. 
Oral stories 
passed down
from generation to generation 
suddenly challenged. 
Suspicion, superstition 
bred defensiveness and 
sideways glances from 
neighbors even relatives. 
The texts decoding 
did little to make 
this any better.
No, it only made it worse.
