It Is Darker Than You Think

an old hag
an old witch
strictly old school
is talking to young people

She tells them
that it is darker 
than they think
the end times approach 

She proclaims
she sees the world ending
and is warning them
of what is to come

She is following
the dark master
of the universe
waiting for the end

and she is afraid
she sees the world
the end of things
the end of life

She is afraid
she tells her students
to boldly face 
the coming end 

with fear 
and trepidation
and anxiety 
waiting for the end 

and in the end
of the world
they will be born
again

as things circle back
to the beginning 
of the end and the end 
of the beginning

thus it has always
played out
in the world 
endless nightmares

and in the end, 
she will wake up
and embrace her fate
at the end of time
