I’m the world ending

Matthew P. Anstey, 1 September 2007

I’m the world ending

Hear my philosophy

you who have died prehumously:

“Who knows? Perhaps God will relent!”


I’m the world ending

Listen to the coach

you who spurn the labyrinth:

“At least we avoided the wooden spoon!”


I’m the world ending

Your majesty, I have a secret message for you

you whose belly enfolds my war:

“Coffee and cake for five dollars!”


I’m the world ending

Watch me – I’m the President

you who look on and know nothing:

“I’m smiling ’cos I”ve got nothin’ to say!”


I’m the world ending

Prime Minster’s poodle to boot

you siphons and sickos and bludgers:

“I despise you all and your choice to work!”


I’m the world ending

Download my preacher’s podcast

you who desire the one true word:

“You need more money!”


I’m the world ending

I’m coming clean

you who judge all and witness none:

“Someone put it in my pocket!”


I’m the world ending

Pay heed to my words of wisdom

you who gorge on hatred’s harvest:

“Who can endure the Day of His coming?”


I’m the world ending

Look here – I’ve been born!
