David O'Haolin Whalen Poet Dramatic Verse

The World Will Simply Shrug

The universe will simply shrug


Bullets fly, wars be waged
People die, ‘pon worlds stage

Hopes and ambitions
Faith and traditions

Cold hard facts
And simple superstitions

All no more than
Wishful visions

All the world’s fine institutions
Despite man’s resolutions

In the end will be
Doomed to fade away

And the universe… will simply shrug
And go on about It’s way
