Hope For the Worst

This crucial time we are in now
Has reached a certain point we all feared
Death, chaos reign over the earth
The world’s ending… yet we don’t seem to care!
We look around us and we see misery
We see an unstable ground…
We are afraid that the path will fade
And we’ll have no other way to go, but down!
Only at the brink of destruction
Do we pray for a miracle from above!
Not seeing that in order to pass…
You need determination and love!
Something forgotten by most people
To help those in need, those lost
To find a way out of hard times
Aim for the future, don’t dwell on the past!
Why do we mock the inevitable?
Lay quiet as evil spreads 
Not knowing that so many suffer
I’m tired of all the bloodshed…
All the screams of agony
The grief we all go through
The anguish and disbelief… 
That anyone cares about you!
We all see the burden you carry
The remorse you seek
Not knowing that the simplest solution
Is but at your feet!!

So hope for the worst 
Believe that the end is but near…
Reality has but struck its course
Into a never ending nightmare!!!
