twas the night before the apocalypse
tidings of dread and fear
filled the hearts of mayans and deer
spreading like a virus on facebook
then came the light, proclaiming look
a new era is here
filled with peace, love and joy
built on maize, wheat and soy
go forth and love, make merry, not madness
celebrate with holiday gladness
joyfully a new beer called cheer is here
now go forth and drink
for today is not to think
but a new day to be
whatever you want to be
p.s. The image was designed by Armando Bayona of New Design School, celebrating Mayan culture. For more info on the school, programs and products, visit here. No disrespect intended to Mayans, new eras or any people. I am simply offering a humorous reflection on the zany ideas surrounding our current times.

Sweet! Thanks Shauna, I actually created an ode inspired by your writing that I was going to post today, but the Mayan muse struck. I’m delighted to join the ranks of powerful poets if they’ll have me.
Cheers back to you!
