They Say The End of Days are Near
every twenty years
another war starts, the market crumbles
someone important dies or is born
another prominent figure goes environmentalist
new catastrophes, new enemies
it will never be the same again
the dreams we held dear are so far away
visions of apocalyptic nightmares
They Say The End of Days are Near
because what we once thought sure
has again become suspect
crime goes up, the glaciers receed
inflation goes up, freedom is repealed
pollution piles up, species disappeared
They Say the End of Days are Here
dictators and presidents and lobbyists
pundits and local politicians
judges and advocates
law enforcement and Multinationals
citizens and criminals
men of God and the children of the damned
They Say the End of Days are Here
we listen, we hear
we have heard this all before
and we console ourselves with doubt
and hope maybe not this year
Purchase MAYA Today!
