A Poet Contemplating the End of Times

A Poet Contemplating the End of Times

a Poet sits in his lair

high above the city

contemplating the end

the end of days

the end of the world

approaching him

He saw the signs

all around him

the decay

the rot lay deep

all around him

the world woke up

and the poet

smiled

he was no longer

a lone voice

in the wilderness

screaming about the end

as the world

woke up

perhaps too late

perhaps not

the poet spoke

and the world listened

to his pleas

no longer

falling on deaf eats

the poet smile

and prepared

for the end

of his time

as he saw

the grim reaper

coming for him
