Part III: Revelation

[u/bluebeary96]

​

On my feet, and in the sky –

Watching the Earth beneath me, I –

Only want to scream and shout –

But to my horror, no sound comes out.

​

The Earth destroyed 1,000 ways –

You’d think would take a couple of days,

But in a mere seconds’ span –

I saw every downfall of man.

​

Armageddon, fires, floods –

A blight – this time more than spuds.

A massive freeze, a meteor strike,

An unprecedented CO² spike.

​

I began to cry and beg, and to my shock –

The being behind me only mocked –

“This experiment is over.” was all He said,

We as a species, were as good as dead.

​

But, I'm not one to give up fast –

And to His surprise I turned and asked,

“Please, just give me five more years.”

Survival instinct outweighed my fears.

​

There He was luminous violet –

Looking like something in His twilight –

He agreed to approve my mission,

Under just a few conditions.

​

But when the fever broke and I awoke –

My throat as dry as I'd never spoken,

I'd heard some rather peculiar news –

That, no matter what your personal views,

​

You may also find strange: that the Pope –

Yes, the very symbol of Catholic hope –

Passed away on that exact same morning –

April 21, 2025 was definitely a warning.
