the 2012ers

the 2012ers

A Poem by delapruch
"

for those that hope & pray for the end.

"

you know them

probably had a talk with one or two of them

maybe

just

maybe

you are one of them

be it something you wear on the outside for everybody to

see

or something you hold inside

a deep hope

that everything will soon end

so that your own personal struggle will be over

& mixed with a complete apathetic nature

given your surroundings as a functional

human

this is one scary thing

my friend.

 

there are those that have conversations with friends, family &

coworkers

in which the end result of the conversation is

“well, it doesn’t really matter---because the world is gonna end in 2012”

& there are people giving money to lobbyists who on their behalf

try to push our congressmen for more war in the middle east

in order to

bring about

“the rapture”

because apparently little ol’ jesus can’t come back on his own.

 

the 2012’ers want the mayans to be right

the mayans,

whose prophecy never stated that

the end of the world was coming

whose own calendar was just that---

a calendar

and all the new age spiritualists

follow in suit

there is gonna be a GREAT change they say

come a few days before that famous fictional baby’s

b-day.

 

i wish these individuals put as much energy that they do in wishing for the end,

in preparing for the end,

in hoping and on their knees

praying for the end---

in trying to make the present better.
