A civilization promises peace The Foundation plots their destruction On a rainbow bridge
The Foundation marches onwards
A man who misses his father Finally meets his end Another man sheds no tear
The Foundation marches onwards
Edison went Not in a blaze of glory But in a bed, alone
The Foundation marches onwards
A photosynthetic woman Tries to help The flower dies
The Foundation marches onwards
A woman sacrifices Her only child, crying As he screams
The Foundation marches onwards
A man made of Glass Is pushed too far And breaks
The Foundation marches onwards
The King of apples Refuses the throne And is consumed by his fate
The Foundation marches onwards
A man of little talent Meets a Scream of anguish And stops functioning
The Foundation marches onwards
A man of nothing Watches the universe It was enough
The Foundation marches onwards
A woman stuck in a pit Meets an uncontainable Library Her blood cakes it’s shelves
The Foundation marches onwards
A man out of Sorts Wishes to die He makes it painless
The Foundation marches onwards
An alchemist Works to his end Explaining the universe
The Foundation marches onwards
A dimensional traveler falls His corpse traveling Forever after
The Foundation marches onwards
A bug in the system Works itself out And a forgotten man, disappears
The Foundation marches onwards
A man who keeps on going A man too useful to die Outlives his usefulness
The Foundation marches onwards
A woman clinging to power Watches her son die And ends her life
The Foundation marches onwards
A Moose with magic Runs to the Library And sees it burn, laughing to the end
The Foundation marches onwards
A dog, beyond its years Ends the Bookburners With a click and a boom, barking to the end
The Foundation marches onwards
A woman who likes butterflies watches the world burn The fluttering coming to an end
The Foundation marches onwards
A mad doctor Laughs, once, at his creation As it kills him
The Foundation marches onwards
The forever agent Fires his last bullet And smiles at the end
The Foundation marches onwards
A time traveler No longer sees the future is this the end?
The Foundation marches onwards
Jesus Christ Watches the Bloom, waiting And as nothing happens, she cries happily
The Foundation marches onwards
A Clef sounds the end As a chain breaks And then the sun went out
The Foundation marches onwards
A man made of Gears Looks at the horizon A tear leaves his eye
The Foundation marches onwards
A Bright necklace watches it all It’s friends left behind As it is finally destroyed
The Foundation marches onwards
A man who dies last Finally passes away Cursing his creator to the end
The Foundation marches onwards
The Last Author Took one last look Before ending it all
The Foundation marches onwards
Irredeemable It arrives The end
The Foundation marches onwards
A Kind Man Sheds a tear For the Foundation, on its endless journey
The Foundation marches onwards
A man, ascends To the Finale Losing himself along the way
The Foundation marches onwards
And onwards
And onwards

This is a wealth of homage, love, and attention to SCP put into one place. It's a shame it couldn't find a spot on the site it celebrates.
Poor yoric, eat your heart out.
From the author:
"This is my first Foundation-related work. It is a poem describing the possible future of the Foundation, the continuous "life" of the Foundation as it outlives everyone and everything. The stanzas are all doctors or SCPs, try to figure them out [without clicking the links]!"
