End of the world

No Planet B

‘No Planet B’ Collage by Angela Zafiris

The doomsday clock has changed once again. It’s 100 seconds closer to midnight. Time is running out. The earth is in a state of crisis. Deadly weather, earthquakes, a deadly virus, talk of a third world war etc. Things are getting tougher and there is no other planet to escape to. There is no other planet like ours. Our planet is not disposable. There is no planet B. No earth part 2. All of the problems that we are facing we have to face whether we like it or not.

We are trapped in the hell that we have created, and with very little time left to reverse our actions.

Escape From Earth/Αποδραστε απο τη Γη

Lets escape this world

Leave the corrupt behind

Our holy bones

Do not rest

  The air makes us breathless

                                                    The water poisons and brings us thirst

                                                         The endless warnings of doom

                                                                         and gloom

 *2 and 1/2 minutes

on the clock

                                                                       till midnight

                                                                 That’s what they say

                                                        But, not if we are a world away.

The poem is inspired by all of the talk of ‘doomsday’ in April (again).

Eschaton/Εσχάτων (End Times)

The End Times Are Here..There are a few prophecies about this year from various people who are not very positive, in fact they are terrible. I think that most people have heard of them. Recently I had a dream about a nuclear apocalypse! I hope that none of those predictions and bad dreams come true and that it’s just the same scary song that we have heard for many years now.  Unfortunately, humanity is extremely self-destructive and hateful; the more advanced our technology the closer we are to our complete demise. People need to change, but they need to change before it’s too late.

Only the dead have seen the end of war.”-Plato
