Thursday

The world came to an end on a Thursday
And it wasn’t that bad
Wasn’t even close to the worst day
That I’ve ever had
I suppose we all should’ve noticed
When the seas met the sky
Or at very least when all the animals died

The world came to an end with a whisper
Though more like a sigh
Like some greenhouse gas had passed or perhaps
More like the moment passing by
It was all far too sudden
Yet we’d waited so long
I don’t mean to sound disappointed
But hey, my planet’s gone

The world came to an end, and now it’s over
Guess we all should have known
What’s the point in ruling a planet
That will leave you alone
And the few of us that made it
Have made a decree
Never again to start fighting
Well, I give that a week
