The End Of The World Is Near Poem by Seph Dent

Part I

The end of the world is near
And how far have we come
Great things were accomplished by some

But others moved in rewind
People searched for something to find
But without questions
No answers came to mind

As we regressed through the ages
Society failed to thrive
We have only just managed to survive

We started off so innocent
Our souls once pure
Now filled with a poison that has no cure

Goodness now so rare
Most of mankind is in despair
And without hope
We say a final prayer

To the God that doesn't exist
If you can hear our cry
It doesn't matter whether we live or die

We only want you to know
That we are full of regret
And we would do so well if you pressed reset

Part II

Hurrah! It is not over
We wake up born anew
Our deepest wish has come true

We are given a second chance
To act as we should
And together do the things we said we would

But how quickly things fade
We're back to the same charade
We commit to such evil
But not to the promises we made

The lives of thousands wasted
We kill and go to war
Without even knowing what we're fighting for

It has happened all again
We failed to comprehend
And the human race continues to descend

When will this madness end?
