If the world would end tomorrow
And you're the only one who knew
Would you call all your relatives
And make them worry too?
Or perhaps you'd think of mailing
All your new-found friends online
And warn them all to change their ways
If they do ... they'll be fine
Well ... people have been doing so
For years and years to date
And yet so many still neglect
To change ... 'fore it's too late
Well I'm not here to sway your minds
Or even spread the news
No matter what I say to you
It's still you who must choose
Now some believe in Jesus
And some say he's a myth
Still others believe nature is
The one we end up with
It matters not ... we all are right
We all know right from wrong
We make our choices day by day
And that's what makes us strong
But let me ask you this my friend
If this was our last day
Would you inform me of the news?
If so, what would you say?
Would you compose a letter
That forced tears from my eyes?
One which shed light on better things
Before the whole world dies?
Or maybe write descriptions
Of the pain and torture felt
By those who know that they do wrong
Blaming others for what they're dealt
Not me, I say ... I would not change
Yes, I'd stay just the same
Cuz I pass love and hope and truth
And cast away all blame
Here's how I would pass that day
I'd rise before the sun
Cuz I'd want to be up to see
Once more ... the final one
And then I'd make some phone calls
My plan to make amends
I'd gather all those I have wronged
For half that day to spend
I'd tell them all I'm sorry
I'd ask them to forgive
I'd let them know within my heart
I've changed the way I live
I'd answer questions truthfully
All those that they would say
Except the one "Why do it now?"
I wouldn't spoil their day
Well .. that would last til 3 o'clock
So I'd be running late
Then I'd spend time with family
And then more with my mate
So now it's way past bedtime
The clock nears end of day
I'd come online to look for you
Not knowing what to say
The speed at which it now connects
Has NEVER seemed so slow
I'm finally in to message you
And ask if we can go
Into a room that's just for us
To spend a little time
Alone and private from the world
Once there .. I'd speak in rhyme
And now there's just one minute left
Before time draws to a close
I spent way too much time today
But that's the way it goes
I'd ask if you would hear me out
Before you say a word
And then I'd say one final thing
Hoping that you heard
My friend .. I will not be online
Sometimes we chat .. sometimes we don't
Sometimes is not enough
Sometimes we joke .. sometimes we cry
Tonight it's really tough
To say exactly what I mean
Is not TOO hard with you
I say it almost all the time
My dear friend .. I LOVE YOU!
The internet disintegrates
Now everyone is all alone
No friends .. no pets .. no sign
Of life at all throughout our Earth
As Heaven and Hell align
And so it came .. and so it went
And so now I must too
Cuz on this poem too much time spent
I come to look for you :)
