Our world's redemption
The start of the end
As stars collide
And our world divides
I never had the chance
To say goodbye
Although it may seem that our love was lost
You're the only one my mind has crossed
Now as the world ends and everyone prepares to die
I can’t help but just stare deeply into your eyes
Our worries and desires fade
There is nothing much to explain
All there’s left to do is reminisce
Like when we had our first kiss
Or on our first date
I was fifteen minutes late
Now we are running out of time
The stars finally collide
And the world divides
Now I have the chance to say goodbye
My love
Reality
The sunset fades
And we sit behind the fire we made
Telling stories about our childhood
If we could go back we would
Realizing how those days were taken for granted
Now we’re grown up looking for something to keep us distracted
Now we just have memories
Of when we were young dumb and happy
Going door to door asking to play
We would be outside the whole day
Or when we would be excited for summer break
All of us would head down and have fun at the lake
Or like when we got our first phone
Now we’re stuck paying off debts and loans
I would want to be a kid again
But everything has an end
We’ve grown up
Filled with real world problems that left us all corrupt
We live in a cycle
Wake up
Go to Work
Come back
Go to sleep
Repeat
We’ve fallen down a hole that’s too deep
We’ve tried climbing back but it’s way to steep
We are trapped
In a room with no doors
A maze with no exit
There’s nothing to do but just keep the cycle going and accept it
Searching
I’ve lost something I can’t get back
Something I can’t find
It’s like a puzzle with a missing piece
You need it to be complete
It holds many memories
If only it had just stayed with me
Some people lose it
Or have it taken away
I have lost it
I’m stuck with no hints
Reading a book with no words
I’m searching for something I can’t find
Like a child that got left behind
Maybe this is where we go when we die
For I’ve lost my life
And I can’t seem to find it
The art of the world
Calm waves splashing on the shore
It’s a familiar sound everyone's heard before
The waves are blue
The Art of Life
Sea shells wash up on the shore
No one could ask for anymore
Kids play fighting
Frisbees flying
The sun rising
As the war begins arriving
The waves are not as calm
Kids running for the moms
People trampling over people
People hiding
Everyone is running away from the thought of dying
The Art of Survival
Raging waves
Crashing on the shore
The sounds it makes never heard before
The waves are red
A sea of blood
The Art of War
Soldiers washed up on the shore
Bullets flying in every direction
Only a get a few get a connection
Sounds of screams throughout the field
War never yields
Guns firing
Troops dying
Bodies flying
Men crying
Troops scan the area
Finishing off the men left to die
Dents in the ground from the bombs
Neither side was in the right or wrong
Kids left fatherless
Siblings left brotherless
The Art of Aftermath
What was it all for?
The clarity kicks in
It happens again and again
War will never win
Normality of reality
The world is corrupt
And people are getting fed up
It’s ending slowly
Our world is origami
And it’s unfolding
We are killing the earth and ourselves
I want to get out of this place
"We all want to live by each other’s happiness"
But I guess that's not the case
We all want to live in peace
But we can’t have that with how easy it is to get shot in the streets
We can’t because the image we portray
People doing anything for a bit of fame
People cheating just to say they won a game
People injecting drugs in their veins
The population cascades
It’s been like this for decades
Hate on the internet
I wish I could disconnect
I wish we could forget
Police brutality?
It’s becoming a normality
War going on?
How many casualties?
People killed for no reason
No justice for families?
Wake up this is reality
There’s very little to no faith in humanity
Wish we could escape and live in our own little fantasy
Gang shooting
Stealing and looting
The air polluting
It seems as if humanity is concluding
For life’s a game and we are losing
We live to die
Not to be killed
Now trust is hard to build
Growth
The grass grows greener
Covered in light, it shows its
Perfections
But it seems so different in
Another's perception
Beauty to my eye, it's endeavor
Is disastrous
Its beauty is so effortless
The end?
I feel at peace
But I can’t help feeling uneasy
Like I’m in a calm majestic forest
With a spark about to cause a fire
Like I’m on a sedated shore
While a tsunami conspires
Every thing at once is happening it’s so hectic
But I don’t feel stressed
I fe-
I feel….
Calm
No worries
as if the whole world is falling apart right before my eyes
And I can’t seem to feel anything
Apathy
This feeling is hard to describe
A perilous wave is coming my way
I can’t help but stare
Everyone is in fear and in despair
But I feel
Relieved
Like this world was so fine without us until we
Interfered
We were a mistake and it’s not hard admitting
Like a puzzle piece that’s not quite fitting
Maybe all we need to do is die
It’s the beauty of life
Maybe this is how we find peace
If we are ever reborn please don’t let history repeat
Comets
Earthquakes
Tsunamis
Wildfires
Volcanic Eruptions
Hurricanes
Tornadoes
Floods
It all hits simultaneously
Earth’s revenge
This is it
This is how we die
There’s nothing to do but just comply
I stare at everything coming my way
With no feelings
I still can’t feel anything
As everyone runs and screams
But the end is already underway
I close my eyes and wait for it
Finally it hits
I’m steadily falling
The memories start rewinding
Reminiscing on good times
For it’s the end of my life
Everything goes silent
I can’t see or feel anything
I finally found peace?
I look down from a bird's eye view
A world without us
It’s so
It’s so fascinating
