Life As We Know It

My heart you have captured, 
Now prepare for the rapture, 
The second coming is at hand. 
All the signs are there, 
This is not meant to scare, 
Ready to Make Your Last stand?
There is war in the east, 
Yet the west seeks no peace, 
The media was getting pretty bland.
The banks are all failing, 
Children are wailing, 
Why are you killing our land?
This is my final rhyme, 
Before I run out of time, 
The wire slits its own strand.
