The End of the World

mlarouss

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”.
