Armageddon

by

Sekhem Psikor Strecker

The moon falls to the earth with a thunderous crash
And the stars spin into oblivion with a last cry of glory
The mighty sun and its one thousand rays
Extinguish in a second by the breath of the Gods
As the trees wither and die, the oceans freeze and collapse
Mountains crumble and valleys lift and the thin air turns foul
All that once lived now lay strewn on cold rock
Lifeless, dead, absolutely lamented and still born
For it all was never there; there was nothing but
A simple projection on a screen that was the Universe
And an audience that fell asleep long ago
So now it's time to awake, stretch and yawn
Rebirth
To pack all the texts and sling all the bags
The Universe was a screen
The students were the dreamers and players
The God was
A lecturer

_Hence the name University_
