The World Isn't Ending

I had an idea when I wrote this but I feel like it might not have come across very clearly so I really don't know if I like this one but here it is:


it's over
...someone has brought down the cover
of the veil of time
And snuffed out the burning light of eternity
The souls mourn but the flesh is in denial
Moving on, pushing forward even while
The world is burning invisible fires
Now comes the blanket of silence
Stifling the violence, cease all the hating, lying, debating
Neighbors disintegrating before my very eyes
I saw it all
Mountains tumbling, cities falling, Mankind dying
But all hidden carefully
Behind the facade of lies that we call life
All an act, me a poet, you a murderer
And most ironically of all, you the actress...aren't we all?
Composure, what we display
Faith, what we need
As the curtains close over our final act
We open our eyes to notice...
Why isn't the world ending?
Because...
It's already over
