See oh blind and hear oh deaf. It comes from below; it comes from above. It groans through the cliffs and rumbles through the ravines. Towns and cities are forever deprived of their splendour and infrastructures. In unity, large audiences now gather. They stand together as one in all the different world religions.

They beg and pray, promising God a better, more conservative outlook. But alas, alas, it is too late, and they remain forever lost. See oh blind and hear oh deaf. It comes from below; it comes from above. It comes in the song of so many prophets, promised to homo sapiens for centuries.

It hits the earth as the great catastrophe. It comes in earthquakes, fire-breathing mountains, tsunamis and appalling torrential monsoons. The wicked as well as the pious, cry: Oh, why were we born in this terrible time? The super-rich mourn: Behold, we have been robbed of all our treasures in a single moment.

They cry, without our matter we are now completely lost. Therefore listen, O blind and all you deaf. To your own lamentation in all its verses. Therefore, raise your voices and sing in your loathsome world-choirs. But know, heaven closes its ears to your complaints now. All that remains are falling scales in the approaching time of the great catastrophe.
