In five years
The Mayan prediction
Of the end of time
Will begin

One cycle
Will be out
And another one
Will be in

It won't be
The final end
Of the world

It will only be
The end of the world
As we know it

A transformation
Of the ecosystems
Of the Earth

And a transformation
To the awareness
Of worth

The old world
Will not go out
With a bomb

It will
Go out
With a whine

And the new world
Will not come in
With a flourish

It will
Come in
As a flow

A flow
That will slowly wash
The tears from our eyes

A flow
That will eventually wash
The soot from the skies

A flow
That will fully recover
The truth from the lies

A flow
That will finally uncover
The fact of the ties...

That bind all things
To one another
Forever

In five years...a whine
