The end

 The end of times


No need to look in entrails

Or to examine signs in stars

The message is written everywhere

In melting ice and forest fires. 


No need for Scriptures or High Priests

The dogs are barking in the streets

The end is nigh for most of us

The final tide is rising high. 


Some will remain above the flood plain

Some will avoid the desert heat

But many are condemned to death

In a place of climate change. 


Don’t listen to the lunatics

Who live with poisoned minds

Don’t blame a God, who did his best

For a pristine world that we just messed. 


But what survives should prosper

And those remaining learn 

What stays small stays beautiful 

If we live within our means.
