Acceptance via Determinism

We’re made of material dust
In a world neither just nor unjust;
What happens each day
Can be no other way
Because molecules move as they must.

Oil Companies Knew

It sure takes a whole lot of gall
For people to make such a call;
But who is to say
How much they should pay
For knowingly killing us all?

Mass Migrations and Lifeboat Ethics

Maybe now is a good time to think
How we’ll act, going over the brink;
In any case, sadly,
Things will end badly,
Plus, all of the lifeboats will sink.

Do What You Love

These four words of wit reinforce 
What doomers do well to endorse:
It’s over, this mess,
So do it, unless
You’re a serial killer, of course.

Updating Einstein

“I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.”

He knew lots about science—and more, 
But he didn’t know doom was in store:
Due to NTHE, 
After World War III,
There’ll be no one to fight World War IV.

Ancient Zen Wisecracks

“To be is to do.” — Socrates
“To do is to be.” — Sartre
“Do be do be do.” — Sinatra

“What to do,” asks the doom devotee,
 “With the onrushing shit potpourri?”
The answer, my friend,
For approaching the end,
Is not to “do,” simply to “be!”

Accepting Doom

I’m struggling here, day by day,
To hold the depression at bay;
I don’t know what to do
(And maybe you too?)
But we’re all going to find our own way.

Hospice Hotel

Well, now, if your laughter leaves you 
And you got doom’s tale to tell
Well, just take a walk down Doomer Street
To Hospice Hotel
Where we’ll, we’ll watch it together, baby,
We’ll watch it together,
We’ll watch it together till we die.

I Smoke Alone

Extinction studies have shown
Our survival chances are blown;
With my friend Mary Jane
Reducing the pain,
I prefer to be smoking alone.
