2012

Oceans started to rise As polar caps melted Meteors fell from the skies The Earth’s surface was pelted The days grew dark Radiation was high Cosmic sparks Lit up the sky Religious zealots started fighting Earthquakes continued to rumble Mayan cults were uniting Governments started to tumble Fear grew rampant As death counts mounted Cities were vacant Safe havens were touted People looking for answers As chaos ensued Religions needed enhancers Scapegoats were pursued Prognosticators saying, “I told you so The end not delaying Pray for your soul” Humanity extinguished Except for a few The prepared distinguished Who knew what to do A new world was born In 2013 The old world forlorn Never again to be seen

You describe very vividly what many expect to see on December 21, 2012. I'm glad you left some people alive to rebuild the world, hopefully taking it on a better path. Best wishes in the 2012 contest, Joe. I see you're busy writing again and it's great to have you back. Love, Carolyn
