CCCXXIII - The New Dawn

The Mad Monk, leader of the Abbott's Gate Doomsday cult,

predicted the end of civilised life as we know it

once the so called ‘Carbon Tax’ came into force. 

It started today.  No sign of the Apocalypse yet.

The New Dawn

The sun rose this morning.
It caught me by surprise.
The Tories had been warning
That clouds would fill the skies,
That civilization would be over,
That the economy would implode,
That the good times in the clover
Would become a misery, a la mode.

The sun rose this morning.
The birds seemed unconcerned,
A few were even yawning
As if they wished the day adjourned.
No horsemen of the Apocalypse
Were riding ‘cross the skies;
Nor did I have to come to grips
With lost soul's tormented cries.

The sun rose this morning.
They had told me that it wouldn’t.
The sun rose this morning.
They had told me that it shouldn’t.
The sun rose this morning.
And lit the morning skies.
The sun rose this morning.
Was it all a pack of lies?
