Apocalyptic?

17 Aug 2019

Soothsayers-
prophets of doom
they've made their 
predictions
-interpreted signs
only to err
and this, for millennia.

And now, today,
I say things have just gotten
way too bizarre
dystopian even-
theology aside
the word "Apocalypse"
is again heard
-and often...

And as for me, myself
I waver
from hopeful
to resigned
riled
but never
apathetic
balancing on that
edge-
paradoxical
to live each day
as if the last
but somehow
still envisioning
a brighter 
tomorrow.
