Apparently, the world is ending again.
It seems the apocalypse is on repeat.
I swear it ended in 2012
when the calendar sat unwritten,
we all melted under a supernova sun.
It was mostly fun
so, it will be sad
to see it all become atoms
in the mourning air.
I swear...
We've been here before
I’m sure death
was knocking on our door
When CERN pressed
the trigger on the world's core.
It seems the end days are looping,
a never-ending cycle of endings
wending their way through
our confused existence
just trying to find the beginning
like scratching at Sellotape
with no fingernails.
It is looming. Apparently.
Somewhere in the shade.
I swear we witnessed the world in flames
when heaven’s gate failed to open.
When Jonestown drank the poison down.
The afterlife seems
a bit of an afterthought,
we seem to just be caught in a loop
of bad news and cultist views.
The prophecy is written
in vanishing ink,
it blinks a date then
disappears into the breeze
to never be spoken of again.
But the end is coming...
They keep warning
and people keep falling
for the alarm bells calling.
How will it come?
A comet crashing us off course?
A galactic invasion force?
A monster from the depths?
A tidal wave of unexpected breadth?
Or maybe we will be raptured
floating to some other place?
It seems that this will be my last verse
as the end is coming to our universe.
Will it be Galactus coming to devour us?
I suppose I’ll never know
as I’ll sleep and wake up
long after the apocalypse
has been and gone
and I’ll go and walk
in the autumn sun.
Searching for words
to share from my heart,
even if I’m the last person
to walk this earth.
But in all seriousness
the end is coming
if we don’t look after
what we call home.
If we feed on hatred
instead of loving,
we risk becoming
the scythe in Death’s hand
swinging away the remaining days.
If we spend more time worrying
about income and flashy cars,
If we keep fighting unjust wars.
If we keep drilling our earth
for every last resource.
Then our time in the sun
will fade, I’m sure.
