About the Mayan Doomsday Calendar

 

By Elton Camp

 

A lot of gullible people got quite a scare

By a preacher saying the end was there

To know that is certainly not in his power

Because nobody can know the day or hour

 

As if we hadn’t heard enough of that before

A strange Mayan calendar has folks in a roar

It shows that the end of the world’s next year

And that has many quaking in greatest fear

 

But those violent pagans had no way to know

When, into destruction, this world would go

That, even God’s son and angels are unaware

So why with ancient Mayans would he share?

 

Reasonable, sensible possibilities we have to face

Maybe with 2012, the Mayan had used up the space

Or, like other religious frauds, the calendar maker

Developed the calendar to sell and was a profit-taker

 

So, do I think the prophecy will fail?  Of course!

For one thing, it is coming from the wrong source

And if about such an event they could foretell,

Why didn’t they see their own downfall as well?
