Your last day on earth

I didn't really have a reason or an inspiration to write this one...i just wrote this one coz i wanted to...a thought on what you would do, were u to know beforehand this it was your last day on earth...


What would you do to validate your birth,

If you knew this was your last day on earth?

The little somethings that before silly seemed,

Living a day of the life of which you dreamed.


The man who spent everyday of in fear,

Shall this day jump from a height sheer.

The murderer shall cry the tears he never shed,

The frantic worker shall willingly waste hours in bed.


The millionaire shall relinquish his pile, earned by his guile,

Simply to see it bring upon a poor face, a smile.

The distant father, who forgot his son as he amassed riches,

Shall this day repent and try to rebuild burnt bridges.


The shy lover, who spent sleepless nights haunted,

Shall today dare to go up and ask out his wanted.

The cheating husband shall remember the vows he left behind,

And shower on his wife the love she no longer hoped to find.


The politician shall admit his crime and face the crowd,

The cowardly citizen shall stand tall for a cause of which he’s proud.

The terrorist shall bury with his bullets, his feeling sour,

The suicidal teen shall decide to tolerate one day more!


Imagine the beautiful place the world would seem,

If we saw everyday as a chance to redeem.

And we would vindicate the wisdom of the ages past,

That told us to live everyday like our last.
