The End of the World

The world didn’t end
Despite every prediction.
Some things in life
Are much stranger than fiction.

All who believed
To the core of their being
Must have wondered today
What it was they were seeing.

“Why, the world looks the same!
Somehow I thought we’d capture
Perfection, at least,
When sucked up by the rapture.

Instead, what I see
Are the bills I’d not paid
And the money I spent,
Thinking I had it made.

Now I’m left in a mess
But I’m really not scared
‘Cause when Judgment day comes,
I’ll again be prepared!”
