When the World Ceased to Be
When the world ceased to be,
It was no pretty thing.
I know because I saw it,
I heard the Doom's Day ring.
My daddy couldn't stop it;
In fact, they took him first.
My mommy only cried;
I think that made it worse.
All around were signs,
No one could ignore it.
All alone inside,
I just couldn't bear it.
With fire in the sky,
Raining down on all,
And tears in every eye,
Of we who saw them fall.
The water rose much higher
Than it had ever gone.
I prayed it'd stop the fires;
I was so very wrong.
When all the world was burning,
And everyone lost hope,
I knew the end was coming,
I knew I couldn't cope.
Without my loving daddy,
With mommy gone away,
I knew the world's destruction
Was some way to make us pay.
Somehow, somewhere, someone
Was mad at everyone.
To warrant so much pain,
I wondered what we'd done.
With my last dying breath,
I tried to say a prayer.
"Dear Jesus, help me to be
Not so very scared."
But all of life I know,
Was burned away that day.
Because I watched some of them
Come through heaven's gates.
When my turn had come,
I looked around inside.
But my mommy and my daddy
Were not here to reside.
I think back on that day,
And rememer my mom and dad;
What could they have done
To become so very bad?
The End
