The most bandied,
most awaited, most dreaded
2012 is finally here!
Is the world on a final run
On billions of years of journey?
Will there be a 2013?
Solar flares set to extinguish Earth?
A comet will bomb it out?
A quake will give it a violent shake?
Will the world powers
nuke their wits and themselves,
Blow the hapless citizens up too?
Which way, how and when
The world will end?
Questions rankle no end!
If the world is to doom,
we are to doom
What you,me and all can do?
None of us will be here
To feel and tell the story
So worry not, fear not!
Is the Earth ok or worried?
Spinning wobbly tobbly?
Resting or reclining
On a side waiting for
For the final Nemesis?
It is business as usual
For the Earth Express,
The ever-green spacecraft-
Carrying dutifully
It’s passengers, crew
Taking care not to
Hurl them into space!
Clutching them to the bosom
As does a mother
Spinning around,
Hurtling along
Taking a cue from
Our beloved earth
Why not make it
Business as usual for ourselves too
Eating, working, sleeping, enjoying!
Nothing to repend
If we get to see the 2013
A quarter of the year
Has gone in a jiffy
Rest may also roll
Without any iffys!
Arrival at 2013
Will be a bonus,
Gift and extension
Go on to enjoy!
Who knows
There is already a breaking news
That the doomsday stands postponed
To 2025!
Make use of the let off
Take care and move on!
Cheers!
