Millennium

The "End" is near
Cried the population
Will it be a wake
Or a celebration?

The Earth will open,
Lava will flow,
Oceans rise,
Meteors glow

Nuclear bombs turn
matter to dust, steel
girders will twist and
rust.

No use hiding from
This awful fate,
From earthquake
And tectonic plate.

The year 2000 will
Come and go-
True believers
Say- "I told you so."
