Some say the world will end soon
different predictions from different sources
all pointing to the same signs of final destruction
so either we die or live another day.
The reality will reveal itself soon enough
but in the meantime we’ve witnessed earth changes
earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, hurricanes,
tornadoes, and economic downturns,
the world we once knew has been shaken
wealth accumulated from years of work
all on fragile ground
even the mightiest have fallen
on hard times, leaders of state,
religion, and society have been exposed
nothing left to hang their fame on.
Crystal Cathedrals have cracked
banks uncovered for their thievery
politician’s values reveal
scandals
debauchery
sensationalism
and lack of devotion.
One by one leaders fall
in the tyrannical countries of the middle east
our soldiers become monsters in their own right
and innocent children, victims on foreign soil
as well as on the streets of our neighborhoods.
Maybe it is a good thing this world is coming to an end
we can start over again armed with knowledge
and maybe this time we’ll get it right.
