April PAD Challenge Day 30

April PAD Challenge, Day 30

Prompt: call it a day

***

End of the World

let’s call it the final day
when everything is no more
a minute of no time

when troubles have gone away
together with joy, and we
have stopped and stared in awe

today we will feel no pain
no dreams will inspire us
no treasure will cost a dime

there will be no friends or foes
no wars or pointless feuds
all struggles will cease, all tears

come, people of Earth, don’t fear
let’s call it a day, or else
let’s rather not speak at all
