The Alpha in the Omega

Just how will the world end, or will it? (Englyn Unodl Union)

Some say the world will end in fire. Not me.
There's ire enough for hire --
or not, so we become mired
in foreign bogs and expire.

Some say the world will end in ice. Not I.
That’s twice too much a price
to pay for one paradise --
I find much more to entice.

Some say the world won’t end at all. I think --
recall what can befall
us entrapped within the small.
In endings, the dawns revolve.
