If the end was near

What would we all say 
If the world would end in a few minutes

Gaze at the stars 
And wonder who put them up there
Point at the clouds 
And guess how long they've been there

Pick a flower or too
And bask in its fragrance
Run through the grass field 
Feeling the breeze rush past you

Apologize to the earth
For the harm we've done it
And promise we'd take care of it 
If we'd have another lifetime

Swallow our pride and
Contact the ones you've wronged
And say sorry

Confess and tell them you do really love them

Why wait till it does really end?
