The war has come... why?

A Testament, found in an abandoned planet:

 

“ I’m old. I'm dying. That’s why I think it's my duty explain how did this happen.

It all started when the nations of the world realized it was the last one. A great war had just passed. Third World War came and went, leaving only ashes were used to be countries. Strong nations were still standing, licking their wounds, when suddenly realized what had they done.

Then it all ended.

It was not greed any more. It was need. The last weapons shined in the daylight, ´till only a few human beings remained. That's why I'm writing this. In order that those who will come, from this world or another, be prepared, and never repeat it.

It’s so simple that I can hardly believe it: mankind was destroyed for the countries’ vain attempt to obtain control of the last drinking water spring… “

This nostalgic feeling somewhere between Ray Bradbury and Philip K. Dick almost made me cry :'(
Hope I won't be alive when this kind of thing happens.

Horrible perspective of the future, but it might actually come to that if we don't start thinking rationally about the earth's resources. But that aside, this was quite intriguing, even though it was short. Could stand well as a prologue to a bigger story. Ever thought of writing about that war?
