Five Minutes To Midnight

Pray tell, but have you heard of any prophet
predicting nearly anything but doom?
Today they're likely running a non-profit,
reach followers on TikTok and on Zoom,
or flying out to Davos on their jets,
to party and test out their new toboggans,
while heretics, still smoking cigarettes,
build barricades and circle up their wagons.
What's left then for a modern Jeremiah,
when everyone who's willing to be saved
is praying to a different messiah?
To free them, they must surely be enslaved.
Good news, though, there's a sale on doomsday clocks.
It's tough out there, for prophets, and their flocks.
