Is the End Near

IS THE END NEAR?

This civilization resourceful and strong, disrupt and destroy as they go along
Scientist’s try very hard to get by, hysteria still brings a scream to the sky
A ceremony performed to bury our dead, savagely killed or died in their beds
Anxiety makes us aware of all things; even the birds can’t be bothered to sing
This dilemma will pass but what will it leave?
A man with the answer tucked up his sleeve.
No furnace, no boilers and no one alive, is our civilization doomed soon to die?
