If the End Was Now

If today was all you had,
If you knew you would die tomorrow,
What would you do?
Would kind of person would you be?
Would you forgive your enemies,
Or would you make new ones?
If the world was crumbling around you,
If you were about to be engulfed in flames,
What would be going through your head?
Would you be headed to a better life,
Or eternal punishment?
Maybe just Oblivion.
If everyone in the world was like you,
What kind of place would it be?
Would the world be destroyed by people,
Or would it crumble and fall by itself?
What could you save,
If today was your last day?
