Tonight's Poet Corner: A Flawed Apocalypse
A Flawed Apocalypse by Belinda Roddie The world does not end with fire, but with online flame wars. The world does not end with floods, but with spam emails. The world does not end with storms, but a storm from the White House, where conspiracy theories are served for breakfast like eggs and bacon: A classic staple. The world does not end with the breaking of seven seals. Instead, it ends with the breaking of minds subservient to a cult not dressed in robes, but in ill-fitted suits with poorly knotted neckties. It ends with false prophets swallowing speed and screaming gospels without salvation. It ends not in a rapture, but in the overturning of tombstones meant to preserve innocent graves. And one thing is accurate: The world will end with wailing and grinding of teeth.
