Day One
The Mayans maintained
and Nostradamus agreed
the world as we know it
ends before this year is out
No need for resolutions
No need for resolutions
How and why the world ends
go without mention
go without mention
or how many times before
what we know has vanished
leaving behind just ruins.
And yet we can stand
before ancient evidence
the world has moved beyond many a doomsday past
Were the people of Waputki or Chaco given a date?
Would the outcome be different if they were?
Would the outcome be different if they were?
After Pompeii
or Atlantis sinking into the sea
did those left alive
call it the end of days
call it the end of days
or was it day one?
