Doomsayers

The internet gives many people the room

To prophesy wildly earth’s forthcoming doom;

Whether from climate change, earthquakes or war,

Fire come from heaven or man’s sinful core,

But so many dates prophesied have all passed,

And earth has avoided each prophesied blast,

So I read them all with a sceptical eye,

Certain that all of the dates will pass by

Without a catastrophe causing the world

To see it’s destruction as mentioned unfurled.
