DOOM

The world is ending

and we irresponsibly effervesce

in spite of repeated repeated repeated

messages of doom doom doom

that stamp out life

and send multitudes

to the tomb tomb tomb.

We must let the earth convalesce

give it a hand

with its rebirth.

The land will claim us

each to dust

and we must acquiesce

unless we want to test

the value of our lust.

I am certain

that civilization

will once again be lost

as it already denies it’s guilt

at any cost cost cost.
