[ WP ] the year is 2050 and commercial space travel is an everyday leisure . Narrator steals a space ships and travels light years to the nearest back hole . As the space time begins to slow down , you turn around to watch the universe pass you by . Write of his experience .

A stolen starship flies just as fast, 
 and I use mine to approach my last. 
 I grew bored of the incessant expansion 
 of humanity's ceaseless obsession 
 to own the stars and all between. 
 So I left to reach the unending. 
 
 I approach the event horizon 
 and time begins its dilation. 
 The instruments slow to a crawl 
 and my view of the universe sprawls. 
 I can see ages pass as the ship tears 
 and mankind makes good use of its years. 
 
 In no time at all the Milky Way is ours, 
 through conquest or flight from wars. 
 The eons flow by and I feel the tide, 
 pulling me from all sides. 
 
 One last looks to the heavens splayed, 
 and I feel my hope in humanity betrayed. 
 The lights dim and die faster than they should, 
 and I feel that we have done more harm than good.
