Apocalypse it happened
he had been waiting for it
for so so long
with his arms outstretched

Life raised its ugly pangs today
it had been good
for days, for weeks, for months and
for more than a year now

In its tsunami, it swept
Much of what he felt was good
Peace of mind was first to fall
Then blowed away his progress
his work he prided in
his money he saved
his meaningful way to work in the world

Standing naked after the tide
what was left was
a few friends who stuck by
his goodwill he had created for years
And a smiling grin which he always wears
