Poem Artwork

Is this Zen,

Or do we know exactly when,

The world will come to an end,

If you know be sure to of the date to me send…

 

Will the world become a place of hoarders,

Nothing given to others without, from God, orders,

Will those that survive the end, be permitted to cross borders,

Who will we be then, on this earth, just boarders,

Searching our pockets for change, finding only quarters…

 

Will we then still be allowed to love,

Or will love for that matter still fit like the proverbial glove,

Oh, the sound of the rain on the roof is so relaxing,

Hopefully we won’t in the end do anything too stressful or taxing…

Some interesting philosophical thoughts.

There's a lot of dark matter out there between everything and nothing.

I think the Jamaican philosophy garnered from a lot of weed is the answer–“Don't Worry, Be Happy.” ;-)

It seems to me, Ed, that the main thing between Nothing
and Everything is Now. Enjoy it. Go fishing. -gene.

What I want to know- seriously- is just what happened 2011 years ago to make it revelant to start counting from that date.
Tell me that.

December 21, 2012. My wise old Native American Apache/Mayan Spouse told me - so it must be true.
