Percentage Point

Oh, one percent, we’re very sorry.
Your time has just gone down, in glory.
We’ve just agreed to feed the world
and, in return, no rockets hurled,
a peace over the very globe descended.
All gods agreed to stand in tow,
to watch a new plan bloom below,
and hope, alas, the greed of man has ended.
