The end of the world what would that be
the fall of a star, the rise of the sea?
Perhaps, all the better, for other than we,
if mankind was dismissed by Higher decree.
The fall of a star, the rise of the sea
These things have happened before surely.
There was a sorting, a winnowing of we,
As well as the plants and the animals free.
Perhaps, all the better, for other than we
The graceful dolphin may they long sortie
When the Earth is water they’ll be jamboree.
These kind hearted creatures a new Pharisee.
If mankind was dismissed by Higher decree
Would we all be above and fly fancy-free?
No one knows, no matter, we can disagree
In the end, the Earth’s fate is not up to we.
*Monorhyme layed out in quatrains with the first 4 lines
forming the first line of the last 3 groupings of 4.
