If The World....... Poem by Alise Yewande Adeluwoye

If you knew the world was going to end tomorrow,
Would you're heart be at peace or filled with sorrow?
Did you live your life to the full?
Or did you behave like a fool?
Did we waste our time with bitterness and hate?
Did our arrogance and ignorance seal our fate?
Judging, people by race, status, gender, religion, and sexuality
Creating a false sense of reallity.
Knocking others down low, so we can feel above.
Did we give love, feel love and taste love?
What about those petty arguments with our family and friends
No longer that important, now it's the end
Did we get the chance to absorb the beauty of earth?
The sacred home we knew from our birth.
I heard from someone once LIFE is Living In Fear of Extinction
What would be your distinction of what life really means?
