Is this the year the world will end?

Rhyming quatrains

 

 

Is this the year the world will end?

 

The Mayans knew a thing or two.
They forecast that the world would end

In two thousand and ten plus two.

I do not think we can depend

 

On their prediction coming true..
There have been prophecies before

Predicting that the end was due,

I do not  doubt there will be more.

 

I do not claim to prophecies

I have no faith in those who do.

My world will end the day I die.

I think the same applies to you.

 

 I could be wrong quite possibly

It may be true the Mayans knew.

Enough to state with certainty.

That their prediction would come true.

 

The Mayans were astronomers

They left behind a legacy

In the form of calendars

What they believed would come to be.

 

Is this the year of destiny?

We have no choice but wait and see.

I think that very probably.

We’ll carry on regardlessly.

 

It just another prophecy.

Though based on erudition.

The Mayans thought mistakenly.

Would herald the destruction.

 

Of everything and everyone.

We hope that it will prove to be

 another failed prediction.

Like every other prophecy.

 

What fate decrees will come to be.

The world is bound to end some day.

But when remains a mystery.

No man alive can solve today.

The last line in the second verse,"I do not there will be more" should have think in it, I think. Great work with really good flow.
