It's the end of the world as we know it (2020 edition)

A different kind of parody this time.


[Verse 1]

That's best, it starts with a protest

in Hong Kong, the corona,

Australia's all aflame

Start of an impeachment, listen to the truth twist

Trump serves his own needs, he'll misserve all our needs

A stock market crash, dip, dive, drop, down

The lockdown makes us all frown with fear of no, one, no

Knee choked with plea, representing many more

And a police force that's worse and is protested

Right of right and coming in a hurry

With the proud boys breathing down your neck

Day by day, reporters baffled, Trumped, sickened, mislead

Look at that solar eclipse

Uh oh, an earthquake, deadly landslide, many floods

But NASA Mars rover, find some life.

Trump serves his own needs, listen how your ears bleed

Tell me when election night and tea party will say good night

His vitriolic, diabolic, slam fight, bright white

Feeling in a plight


[Chorus]

It's the end of the world as we know it

(It's the)

It's the end of the world as we know it

(It's the)

It's the end of the world as we know it

And I feel scared


[Verse 2]

Lebanon explosion, don't forget climate erosion

or B. Taylor, shout out, listen to your voice's clout

Lock them in uniform, woods burning, brexiting

Every debate escalate, most candidates deactivate

Light a candle, light a votive, call out, call out

Watch your Zooms crash, crashed, uh-oh

This means sourdough, overthrow dictator and steering clear

A tournament, a tournament, a tournament of lies

Offer me solutions, offer me alternatives, and I will vote


[Chorus]

It's the end of the world as we know it

(It's time I had some time alone)

It's the end of the world as we know it

(It's time I had some time alone)

It's the end of the world as we know it

(It's time I had some time alone)

And I feel scared

(I feel scared) 


[Chorus]

It's the end of the world as we know it

(It's time I had some time alone)

It's the end of the world as we know it

(It's time I had some time alone)

It's the end of the world as we know it

(It's time I had some time alone)

And I feel scared


[Verse 3]

The other night I dreamt of friends, from digital drift divide boxes sit in a row, murder hornets

run Bernie Sanders, Joe Biden, and Liz Warren

Nasal swab tests, adopt lots of plants, pets!

We're idiotic, quite chaotic, masked but no

Right? Right!


[Chorus]

It's the end of the world as we know it

(It's time I had some time alone)

It's the end of the world as we know it

(It's time I had some time alone)

It's the end of the world as we know it

(It's time I had some time alone)

And I feel scared


[Bridge]

It's the end of the world as we know it

It's the end of the world as we know it

It's the end of the world as we know it

(It's time I had some time alone)

And I feel scared


[Chorus]

It's the end of the world as we know it

(It's time I had some time alone)

It's the end of the world as we know it

(It's time I had some time alone)

It's the end of the world as we know it

(It's time I had some time alone)

And I feel scared


[Outro]

It's the end of the world as we know it

(It's time I had some time alone)

It's the end of the world as we know it

(It's time I had some time alone)

It's the end of the world as we know it

(It's time I had some time alone)

And I feel scared

15 facts I learned from a random Wikipedia article

Original prompt: click on "Random Wikipedia Article" and write about whatever comes up (you can try 3 times and pick your favorite). For the record, I got Alejandro Estivill , Fencing at the 2011 Pan American Games – Women's épée , and Benjamin F. Jonas . I chose Benjamin F. Jonas because it was the longest of the three entries and it had a photo. He was born in Kentucky, moved to Illinois as a kid, and went to college and spent the rest of his life in Louisiana Jonas's father was a merchant and lawyer His father knew Lincoln (like they were real buds) Despite this, Jonas sided with the confederacy Not only did he side with the confederacy, but he joined the Confederate army and rose to the rank of major He went to University of Louisiana (now Tulane) Jonas was Jewish (I didn't know there were Jewish senators who served the Confederacy) He was the second Jewish U.S. Senator from Louisiana and the third Jewish Senator overall Jonas was the first Ashkenazi Jewish US...

Origin story or first issue of a superhero whose super power is geometry

Arya sat in history class and was bored. She longed to get to geometry, where things made more sense. She liked geometry so much that she had joined the math team to be able to do it more. Okay, there was also the extra time with her friends who loved math as much as she did, but some of the appeal was just the math itself. Finally the bell rang and Arya had four minutes to get to her geometry class. She passed right by the chemistry class next door where her least favorite teacher was conducting experiments. He needed to be more careful, thought Arya. The teacher had once exploded a glass beaker and not on purpose. Arya took her seat and excitedly pulled out her notebook. It was her favorite color: hot pink. She assigned her notebook and folder colors in ways that felt right to her. And since geometry was her favorite subject, she made her notebook and folder for it her favorite color. As the teacher started to go over the most common mistakes from the last quiz, Arya could've swo...

Color palette

Original prompt: "Google "color palette," pick one, and write something inspired by it." I actually Googled "color palette public domain" to be sure I could use it and found the image on this post. I used the "floral" section for my inspiraiton. The soft sunlight somehow didn't dim the shine of the fireflies. Such it was in the fae realm. Fern loved this time of day in the faewild where it wasn't quite day, but it was far from night. Fern frolicked alone in the glade as she was want to do. It didn't matter to her that her laughter carried itself alone on the breeze; she was content. She wasn't sure how long she'd been alone as she watched the suns begin to set, but it was pleasant in its own way. But then, she heard a noise. It wasn't the noise of leaves on the wind or twigs snapping from some comforting creature. It was the noise of someone approaching with grim determination. Fern wasn't sure how to ready herself to ...
