The world is ending
and this is how you can tell:
It is the end of the world
when nature starts unleashing hell.
Look around you; listen to the news.
Earthquakes, droughts, forest fires,
floods, typhoons, and financial woes.
Aren’t these signs of the end of the world?
Not so, science tells us.
Natural disasters are nothing new.
Do not listen to superstitious preachers
who cite old tales that may not even be true.
For billions of years more
the sun will still shine.
Humanity may one day disappear
but the universe will continue expanding its shore.
When asked about the end of the world
the old sage replied with a sigh:
“The world will end
exactly at the moment I die”.
