Apocalypse Fluked Poem by Justin Reamer

As it seems today,
On the Winter Solstice of 2012,
That the Mayans proclaimed and predicted,
That the world was supposed to end,
Yet the problems we face
Are not present,
And so we keep on living,
As I look into the mirror,
And see my reflection gazing at me intently,
And I put my index finger on my neck,
Next to my coronary artery,
And I feel my pulse beating,
Not rapidly,
But calmly,
And I feel lungs breathe
With every breath I take,
For I know that I am still alive,
And the Mayan Apocalypse
Of the Winter Solstice has not come,
Even on the shortest day of the year,
Of 21 December 2012.

All I know is that I can
Keep on living,
For I know I am not dead,
With my brain still thinking,
My sight still working,
My hearing all the more sensitive,
My touch still functioning,
My heartbeat calmly pulsating,
My breath calm and smooth,
And no sweat on my brow.
God has not called the world to end,
And those who believe in the Mayan Apocalypse
Have made a mistake.

God knows when the hour of the end times come,
And we will never know for sure,
But we do know that He will always be there,
And whenever that time comes,
We will be ready for Him.

So, we must keep on living,
No matter what,
For the end is not yet at hand,
And the Apocalypse is not here,
And Armageddon is a long way off.
May we all have a merry Christmas
And a Happy New Year.
