the world is ending

there is fire in the sky

acid pouring down

the roars of monsters echo

through the streets

and yet

everyone continues on

as if

we are not near the end

the world is ending

all is quiet

as it has been for a while

sound has long since left me

even still

it remains

i watch as my granddaughter

jumps in fright

as flashes of light

signal the booming sounds

it’s raining

or maybe it’s the end of the world

the sky is falling

the sKY IS FALLING

water pours down

from the blue above

bright flashes of light

accompany the falling of stars

i watch from the shelter of my home

as everything comes crashing down

the sky is falling

or maybe it’s raining

or maybe the world is ending
