My sweet teenager,
life makes you grow up so fast.
There are so many things
that you have yet to learn.
Rest your head on your desk presently.
For right now,
the world rests on you.

Dare we be but overpopulated creatures
consumed in self-demise?
We've surrendered to old grey matter,
to the comfort of their lies.

Dare we stare too long at the sun,
dropping melted wax as warning
across the museum floor?
The light too unreal to un-see?

Dare we live under assumptions
turned to truth verbatim?
And, dare we forget our destination,
in our hurry to keep moving?

if the world was ending in 7 days -
nobody else knows it
but there's nothing anyone can do to stop it
how do you want to spend your last week on earth?

***?! Who is this?

sorry [sadface emoji]

...
I'd go looting.
break into stores, steal TVs, printers,
whatev I can get my hands on

why?
i mean, what's the point?

The **** of it.
Never been looting before
You?

nope, never been looting.

I meant, what would you do with your last week?

i dunno
that's why i'm taking suggestions
