Literature Text

The days are counting down.
The time for regrets is coming to an end.
Go out and make everyone your friend.
Live your life because there is no tomorrow.
Forget old pains and sorrow.

The minutes are counting down.
Be sure to kiss the one you love
before fire rains down from above.
Hold the hands of those around
and finally stand your ground.

The seconds are counting down.
Do not close your eyes.
Watch as everyone dies.
Stare death right in the face
and Never move from your place.

The Next day.
You find you are still alive.
The end did not yet arrive.
I'm taking Apocalyptic Literature as my senior seminar class and wrote this on the first day of class. I can't wait to stare death in the face. Can you?

This is the mentality I was trying to capture for "The best Damn Three Weeks Ever."
Due to a lack of victory, on behalf of Team Wilson, I suppose it's not as strong as it should be.
Of course the end of the semester being my metaphorical 2012 Doomsday.
Live like we're dying sort of thing. And my dreams of unifying the people, even in a non tragedy situation. It just makes sense.
