Three Years Left

Three years left
Written by Catherine Reinke

The world is ending on the news TV
2012 Mayans, Edgar Cayce, all prophets claim  could see.

But three years is all  they tell, is  left for  us and me.
My and they beloved  children, no adult life for them, maybe.

So confusing and uncertain a future to make
 when told  with Gods loving embrace, 
his grace 
with  both these 
He, 
our life
 shall  once again take.

Once more,
us
 His regretful creation 
wiped off the planet, 
another  loving extermination

Your fear is well-founded, Catherine. Nostradamus and the Hopi Indians agree with the 2012 prophecies. However, Nostradumus's prophecies were meant as a warning, leaving us time to change his prediction. I wonder if mankind will heed the warning. Great words, evoking great sadness!

Powerful write. Frightening yet somehow I feel no fear. With the end is always a new beginning whether in this life or the after. Great write... thought provoking! Smiles from Lolita
