the religious ones say
armageddon is coming
judgement day is near
all prostrate yourselves
before the might of
the One
(or many)
for the world is surely
coming to an end
the scientists say
global warming is near
climate change is at hand
mend your ways
clean your bays
quit the race
you greedy little fatcats
else the world is surely
coming to an end
the crafty ones
(and the alarmists)
say what we all know
mankind cannot be trusted
nukular bombs will wipe out
the last squabbling remnants
and the world is surely
coming to an end
the parents the journalists
point to the rising crimes
the rising insane violence
and warn us all
how long before 8%
becomes 100% murders
at this rate?
these are statistics speaking
so it must be true
that the world is surely
coming to an end
me, I think we need to
wipe the slate and
start all over again
anyway
in fact I suspect even
everyone else agrees
that's why we're all so eager
to come up with something
anything at all
that says the world is surely
coming to an end

Ah yes! Of course we do. And if humans become extinct in the process, all the better! They're all awful in one way or another. :P
i was wondering why you kept from posting here, though the rantblog keeps getting flooded with stuff i do like a lot :)
YAY YOU POSTED
I love how you've ended it.
And also, the passive concern attached to everything around.
your writing is amazing, i'm surprised you like mine :P wish i could write good poetry.
thanks for dropping by!
Wow. A brilliant piece I must say and of course, loved the ending. We're all always coming up with something to panic, as if hope was not enough for our feeble minds to create an illusion for us to justify or force a meaning upon a few fundamentally meaningless biochemical reactions known as, life.
And well, I'd love to have the race dig up holes and go underground till the Earth retains back it's beauty in like a thousand years or something.
The clearest of skies and coldest of breezes. And the greenest of trees.
Though, to add to the beauty, I wish the process of evolution would take place at a x1000 rate and that we'd see the Statue of Liberty turn into a tiki-totempole and cave-paintings on underground railway stations. XD
Or maybe I am just insane like that.
