The End of Life

The End of Life I have only a few minutes left The end of the world is coming fast Just ninety minutes So little time to do what I wanted Not enough to love a beautiful woman Not enough to sing a song of peace Not enough to have a really great meal Not enough to be smarter than a fifth grader Maybe not enough to drink enough to forget It will be enough to confess my sins To make make amends to any spirit I have offended I will have enough time to look at the sky To take the time to look at the stars so far away So many planets So many stars So much life Why are we the chosen ones Given a warning of when we are going to die Doesn't anyone else have a 12/21/12 It just ain't fair!
