The end

Joris Olivier

When the sun rises,
The birds begin singing,
As the start of a new day.

When at sundown the sun sets,
The birds go sleeping,
As the end of the past day.

Every day this reminds,
Of the circle of day’s
Starting and ending,
Without any stop since,
The birth of earth.

But now there is something
Going on, that nobody wants,
But many deny,
That the death of earth life
Is nearby, caused by ignorance,
And alas by denying too.
