Waiting For The End

When the end of the world comes
Im going to repent
Im afraid to live
And more afraid to die
But what good would I be if I didn’t try,
Something, Anything
Does that make me bad?
Maybe I’ll repent now
And be rid of the sin I never had

My fear is consuming me whole
But will I be accepted?
Will my mind? Will my soul?
I can’t see the future
The future can see me
Can it see me repenting,
For the tragic life I lead?
But is it so tragic to live life regrettingly?
Or am I regretting to live
Because it demands life? – Maybe that’s a tragedy in itself.
But if I live life waiting for it to end
Is that a sin for which I have to repent?
Maybe I should repent now and keep on repenting
Because eventually the world is going to end
And that’s reality……

    It is reality. The world will not go on forever, as so many human beings would like to wish. There will come a day when all the stars from the sky will fall, and the whole world will be swallowed up in fire. By then, however, it will be too late to repent, and your choice will already have been made. I'm afraid for a lot of people in this life/world who think because the world will come to an end at some point (never in their time), they've got all the time in the world to do whatever is pleasing to the mind and body without a care as to the consequences... Good Think Piece...
