Best End Of The World Poems


Premium Member End of the World
Suppose the world might come to an end tonight
The earth, as we know it, heaving a last gasping sigh,
Whether by divine providence, or some fool’s delight,
We have no way of knowing when the time is nigh.

The earth, as we know it, heaving a last gasping...

At the End of the World
At the end of the world great bears sleep under drifts,
Cardinal crowned Cranes sing and dance in joyous union.
Long winters blossomed by colourful spring and autumn.
Sweet summers vibrate with labouring European bees 
As rowdy Sika deer wander this hardy land of contrasts.
Dragons breath seeps from...

The End of the World
Sweet song of humanity, play on

apparently, we still ain't gone

global catastrophe seems eminent

yet bars and parties are still prominent

a question of when, not if

that's what the epidemiologist insists

the bees have died

the brokers cried

but we play on...

End of the World
“ The end of the world”

Planets are like just round balls
One day they all have to fall

Heaven or hell
That day angles would ring justice bells

Then we would be wordless
The life we started there would be timeless

The graves would rise again 
With a little hope of...

What If It Was The End Of The World?
In twilight's grasp, the world meets its demise,
Oh, Christian soul, who claims the sacred name,
Within God's church, where fervent spirits rise,
Contemplate now, the end, a burning flame.

What if it was the end, the final call,
Would jests and levity your stance define?
Regret, a haunting echo, would...

In this world we seek wealth and that better life 
Finding lies, debt, plague and fear, in this forest of strife 

Spirit weak, hopeless, afraid to answer when any query is raised 
behind apathy and delusion hide, thinking earth will be unfazed 

See the deadly...

Every moment closer towards the sun we go.
We are approaching at the speed our finger nails grow.
Inevitably we will be so close to the sun
that it will vaporize everything, everyone.
Our beloved planet earth will all be gone.
On the bright side you may also want to...

End of the World
5 billion years have passed
Society is long since gone
The sun is now so vast
The Earth has its final dawn

Life has withered away
Leaving ruins in its wake
Memories fade in decay
A world that we forsake

Far away on another rock
Humans made their home
Still we avert death’s clock
As the...

A screech-owl sounds in the distance,
Maybe two miles away.
He signals:
The trees understand.
There is no time here for drooping
Or hanging like a bat.

Why do owls screech, anyway?
It is a mystery
Known only to the forest,
Which waits for the drama
	to unfold
Like a bird's wing taking flight.

There are no...

End of the World
If the end of the world was near 
I would shift into a different gear 
I’d jump in my car 
And drive to a bar 
A drink a whole barrel of beer...

The End of the World Just In Time
I was watching a TV debate 
The programme was running too late
Several topics had to be discussed
The participants they would not be rushed

The studio lights were set low
As arguments swept to and fro
Fingers pointing and tempers got lost
In this satire of low budget cost

Political issues...

Covid Madness Sweeps Through the World
Covid madness sweeps through the world


General Corona 
unleashes his army 
the invisible army
upon the world
killing millions 
in its wake
spreading chaos and death
as he rides in 
on the black horse of death
harbinger of the end of days
destroyer of worlds
ending of the world
revelations come to life 

covid19...

Saudade For Friends I Have Lost
Saudade for friends I have lost

as I get older
I lose more people
every year

more people I knew
have died moving on 
and I mourn their lost friendship

wished I had been 
a better friend for them
and knew them better

and with the corona virus
spreading around the world
I will lose...
