The End of Days

The end of days is fast approaching...

that's what the doomsday prophets are anticipating

Believers who called themselves Doomsday Preppers--

prepared survival kits and everything keepers

There's so many theories and religious interpretations

of this coming judgment day they call Armageddon--

Judaism believes in the Day of the Lord - when God

causes death and destruction to those who deserved

Islam simply calls the end of the world as The Hour

Signs are clearly visible as Israel is fighting its new war,

and we are experiencing unprecedented cataclysmic disasters:

      hurricanes, floods, tsunamis, to meltdown of nuclear reactors

In Hinduism, their God Vishnu rides a white horse

with a comet-like sword and destroys the evil force

While the Buddhists believe in Shambhala - in which

the good triumphs over evil--as ugly as the witch

In Shambhala, the planet is restored rather than destroyed

I think the Doomsday Preppers would be pretty much annoyed...

Both the Hopis and the Mayans have the same beliefs

For they don't prophesy that the world will come adrift

They said, we are approaching the end of a World Age--

If we transition with resistance there will be cataclysmic change,

but if we move through it with acceptance and enlightenment -

gradual peace and tranquility would be a crowning achievement

It doesn't really matter whether the end of days is near

for no one can know what's going to happen for sure

People will speculate endlessly until it's all over

My world ends...when you don't love me anymore!
