100 Seconds until midnight (with Video)



We interrupt your normal viewing for some breaking news,
scientists announce today that the world is screwed

100 seconds to midnight
the clock threatens to strike
will our destiny be settled by asteroid blast
or a disease like plagues of years gone past
will it be a nuclear attack that triggers the bells to chime
will we have time to hear them ring before we reach the end of the line
will our desire for more, fuel our fall - a descent into war
a call of arms against all - even as our planet is decaying to its core
in one final battle against the backdrop of a sun going supernova
will we try to dive for cover? will we know that its almost over?

As the second hand flickers closer to the end
on a planetary time bomb placed in a world marked as condemned
the end is nigh some people will cry
placards worn as they stare out at a blood red sky
but the masses, will they perceive the threat laying at their feet
will they be deceived by the bright lights, as the comet flies - crashing into the seas
will we walk; zombie like into the great unknown -
led by the light of a mobile phone
pacified by the intense glare 
as we are annihilated by the fire of a million solar flares

Where will we be in those final seconds
hunkered down in a fallout shelter, or living life as if death isn't standing present
will we ignore the threat until time is over
will we just carry on as before, as midnight ticks ever closer
putting off today what tomorrow can hide away, right up until our last breath
 we face this slow global death
as we witness the end in a single gasp
will we realise that change was once in our grasp

when the clock sat at 100 seconds to midnight
that was our final chance to stand and fight


Thanks For Reading.
Peace & Love.
Kyle.
