Perhaps these are the end times: <br /> The end of a child's life <br /> The end of a marriage <br /> The end of a parent's life <br /> The end of a business <br /> The end of a beloved pet or horse or other <br /> The end of an age of national influence <br /> The end of life <br />But unless we trip the nuclear trip wire <br />Our days will continue <br />Holland McSwain taught me this great truth <br />Sandy Nieman ratified it with her wisdom <br />The end of a capsule is only <br />The end of a capsule in which we have traveled <br />In which we have been shielded or not shielded from the elements <br />This does not make it sacred <br />This does not make it holy <br />This does not make it the End Times.<br /><br />Bill Grace<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/end-times-ii/
