The world is on fire.
Ashes flying all around,
air raid sirens sound.
Burning ground.
People dying,
lava spews.
Yet its barely front-page news
as the land sinks into the sea.
Time for another tsunami.
People flee,
awaiting calamity.
Insanity.
In the water,
in the sea,
in the soot filled air,
in the land we walk
with feet burned bare.
Clickbait sated brains
End time news.
Headlines to see through,
articles that tell lies
instead of truth.
End time news.
Nothing to see here,
nothing to lose.
Just keep on preaching,
it's no use.
End time news.
Humanity is screwed,
our fate skewed,
unless we do as they say,
fall to our knees,
lick the boots
in front of their alter
of greed and money.
End time news.
If you get the blues,
take some pills,
don't worry if they also make you ill,
we have just the right medicine
to remedy the chills.
Just make sure you keep filling the pharmacy tills.
End time news.
We have some weapons to use,
they are just gathering dust,
so it's only right we light the fuse
and give them purpose
before they rust.
End time news.
Seas are dying in waves.
Planet lying in state.
Can't sustain life,
Fish are sufficating,
Sucking the air from the water they breathe
with all the plastic and oil we leave.
End time news.
It's all death and decay,
but it will sell papers
until our final day.
