sitting on the porch sipping
coffee with the scent of wisteria
floating by. Wondering why
The world can’t seem to slow itself down.
...... This is the end of the world:
single mom cursing the absent
baby daddy for leaving them
behind for some rainbow ride
with no looking back in love or regret.
...... This is the end of the world:
some politician selling his soul
to keep the money rolling in
holding on the reins of power
forgetting those who put him there.
...... This is the end of the world:
some preacher preaching the end of time
selling his books and schemes on gold
and stock, while in vestments holds
the body and blood of Christ hostage.
...... This is the end of the world:
where the lion lies down with the lamb
the child will play in the den of the snake;
a world renewed for humankind
where man and woman live in peace.
...... This is the end of the world.
