The End is Not Near, or 2012, Just the Next Y2K-Type Non-Event.

My poetic stream of consciousness writings continue to flow, bringing together my abstract art with more abstract words.

Don’t call me a 2012 “end is near” debunker,

Cuz even without me, This stuff’s a clunker.

I’m rather a voice of reason,

In a 2012 prophetic season.

A time when all the world over,

You can’t miss the hype, not even in Dover.

It floods the internet, radio, television and media

Of every type. You can even learn of it with Skype.

Twenty-Twelve, Twenty-Shmelve,

Let the calendar rightly delve,

Into the decades past Twenty-Thirteen.

That’s where humanity can still be seen.

Remember Y2K, was that 2000, or 2001?

Oh right, both and still a non-event!

Should I prepare for 2012 doom gloom,

Or seek better ways my time be spent?

Twenty-Twelve, Twenty-Shmelve,

Let’s put Armageddon on the shelve.

We deserve better times to come,

So why not allow ourselves to some

Actual peace of mind and world

Folded and curled, then nicely unfurled.

Stop listening to 2012 nonsensical propaganda,

And realize it’s like taking advice from a panda.

Twenty-Twelve, Twenty-Shmelve,

On the twenty-first day of month twelve,

A line of sight plays at a Mayan King’s throne,

Purely visual in placement from that site alone.

No cosmic significance, no alignments physical,

It’s a juxtaposition illusion with annual interval.

No more consequence than found any year,

Of 12/21/2012 we have nothing to fear.

    Rantings of raving sick minds
    2012 is feared by puerile minds
    Carry on the good sex work, enjoy
    Procreating for future Gen-X, full joy.

    good image choice I think somepeople like to keep others in a state of panic for control reasons. If you keep people scared you can get them to do anything you tell them.

    No need to panic really. Some fears are far fetched.

  • Pete Macinta on Jun 15, 2010

    I agree. 2012 won’t be the end of the world. Like what you said about Y2K!

    Very well written. Nothing to be scared about. I agree.
