The End Is Nigh

The end of the world is now nigh
the signs are all clear in the sky.

With tempest and storm
and tsunamis that warn
of disasters that leave all forlorn.

When the earth says enough is enough
and nature decides to play rough.

Devastation will reign
bringing slaughter and pain
awash with the blood of the slain.

So please heed the words that I say
and have fun while you can every day.

With fun, zest and zeal
find the joy you can steal
before meeting the earth’s final deal.

Let’s face up to our fate with a prayer
although we are faced with despair.

If we pray to our God
he may just spare the rod
letting you in with a wink and a nod.

Omg. Loved this poem. Except the pleasure seeking will bring us to our end. Keep writing my friend.
