End of Days

Some said it would come with the millennium Worldwide chaos and technology confusion Two-thousand twelve forecasts create mystification Are the hopes we hold for man’s future an illusion? There is no doubt our day of reckoning will come Tornadoes, tsunamis and earthquakes are preludes Softly ticking clocks gain the thunder of drums With caution we confront skeptical attitudes Some spend their entire lives in states of fear I choose to live in a capsule of serenity The end of man’s reign on earth may be far or near As we await passage to a heavenly city Let’s not get caught up in the growing speculation Instead concentrate on how we live every day Knowing our path to eternity has begun And the covenant of God’s love I won’t betray The date, the time and even the means matter not For those who treat others with kindness and respect To say we know the precise moment? That’s a long shot Choose to live in the now, not suffer in retrospect
