Living in the latter days?

rhyming quatrains

 

 

 

The end came unexpectedly.

Time stopped, then went into reverse

Which took effect immediately.

As if the lifting of a curse.

 

At first it was not obvious

What the effects would come to be.

But scientists were curious.

Recoding changes they could see.

 

Grey hair and wrinkles disappeared

People grew younger day by day.

There seemed to be nothing to fear

From time running the other way.

 

The universe began to shrink.

Instead of growing constantly.

Which gave us time to stop and think.

What the end result would be.

 

Rewinding millions of years.

Was bound to be a slow process.

But it seems nobody dares

To make an educated guess.

 

How long before the universe

Becomes a singularity

Now time has gone into reverse.

No one can say with certainty.

 

How long before we reach zero.

The point at which it all began.

Perhaps its best we do not know

 the final outcome of the plan.

 

The universe will cease to be

At least the universe we knew

Pausing momentarily

Before the cycle starts again.

 

A mere potentiality

Existing independently

Which may or may not come to be

A new form of reality.

To answer your question...the Mayan's believe we will get this answer in 2012. lol
Another Y2k will go down in history. And the Science...it's changing more rapidly that what anybody could begin to imagine. It's a fascinating and scary world we live in. Thanks for the thought-provoking write.
