The theme was so universal that I adapted it into three language versions: French, English, and Italian…

The Apocalypses - UPC 093561043142
Revelation
exposure
discovery
doomsday
armageddon
carnage
havoc
meltdown
Man thinks he's big,
thinks he matters,
still he shakes,
afraid of the wind,
afraid of change.
Little human, full of fear,
scared of the life you got,
stand up,
look ahead,
you don’t need more fear,
you need love.
A man falls,
an empire ends,
a system shuts down,
rules collapse,
divorce, death,
markets crash,
one bad headline,
and the ground
opens
under your feet.
Spinoza said it:
the Apocalypse is done.
No prophecy.
It’s constant.
It’s now.
Little man, you’re right,
your death is *your* apocalypse,
your world ends there.
The rest goes on.
Nothing changes.
Nothing ever does,
except your fear,
always there,
always bigger,
keeping you from living,
keeping you from loving.
Little human, full of fear,
scared of the life you got,
stand up,
look ahead,
you don’t need more fear,
you need love.
Fear or love.
Two forces.
One life.
You choose.
You’re stronger
than you think.
