World - The Doomsday Vault Poem by Paul Warren

The Global Seed Vault is built on the Arctic archipelago
At Svalbard, Norway on the side of a sandstone mountain aglow
It was opened in 2008 about ten years ago
When it looked like species of flora would be lost and go

With Global Warming making more desert lands
We need this depository to ensure later year demand
If it comes that we have an apocalypse for the world
What's left of the population may have access these reserves held.
