End of the World Limericks

In this world, everything is dying.

With no hope left, people are trying

to improve on the ruin others made

to pay a price no one ever thought would have to be paid

to the broken world their lives are dignifying.

(Can I tell you about how this limerick doesn't scan at all?  The book: so much better, and also, contains a logical plot, which this limerick definitely does not.  Ball Peen Hammer; go read.)
