Countdown

Last week another girl was raped,

Was at a high school dance.

6 days ago, a drive-by left

Three deaths; one life to chance.

And 5 days past, a teenage boy

Killed bullies at his school.

4 days before today a plane

Proved gravity was cruel.

At 3 days gone, another kid

Gave in to suicide.

2 days from, a girl did show the

Beatings that marked her hide.

Yesterday a driver drank and

Hit a bus of children

Today as yet another war

Shows hist'ry repeatin'



Countdown to the end of the world

To Armageddon day

The final judgment of us all

I wonder what He'll say?
