EVENT HORIZON

EVENT HORIZON

Let me say that this prediction is a hurried work of fiction,
To claim otherwise is foolish and naive,
But the portents are all there, hints of madness fill the air,
Listen carefully, then say you don't believe.

Now the weather's gone to hell and as far as I can tell,
The seasons change at any time they choose.
We have springtime in the snow; summer comes one week, then goes.
Floods and droughts and forest fires don't make the news.

Our ancestors, they knew, birds and mammals all did too,
Why their world was rocked by nature's wild events.
The prophets told their kings of disasters soon coming
They must flee their castles, learn to live in tents.

Earthquakes, floods and dusty droughts, ash-filled skies (volcanoes spout)
Tsunamis, landslides, still we cannot see;
For the pictures fill my head, we are lost, despairing, dead,
When the asteroid comes calling, due next year

Review Request (Intensity): 
I want the raw truth, feel free to knock me on my back

The weather and other events Do seem to be more random but Wormwood is due much later than next year. Enjoyed this read of doom................scribbler

Glad you liked this mournful tale. I don't worry about things we can't alter. After all, even if I do end up in Hell, I doubt if I'll be able to get near the burning fires for the amount of poets down there.

Maybe" event horizon" was more , em, well, you know what I mean. I am keeping my fingers crossed for you and yours that you escape this almost biblical plague of bad weather. Be safe, my thoughts are with you. For God's sake take care.

Love and very best wishes
