The Mayan Codex

Eat, eat, while you still have bread

Drink, drink, while you still have water

A day will come when dust will possess the earth

And the face of the world will be blighted

On that day a cloud will rise

On that day a mountain will be lifted up

On that day a strong man will seize the land

On that day things will fall to ruin

On that day the tender leaf will be destroyed

On that day dying eyes will close

On that day there will be three signs seen on a tree

On that day three generations of men will hang there

On that day the battle flag will be raised

And the people will be scattered in the forests. From The Nine Books Of Chilam Balam Translated by the author
