The time is drawing to a close,

Some are living new highways sought;

And they are ripping off their clothes,

Being married acting as not.

Some have eyes that are filled with tears,

But live as having no sorrow;

Because they are hiding their fears,

Of what is bringing tomorrow.

Some of them are happy should live,

But live in the shadow of doubt;

Feeling as being a captive,

Nothing to be happy about.

Some buy something as on a spree,

Then live as if they did not own;

Buying on impulse just to see,

For others their status is shown.

 Some who use the things that are here,

Become addicted as their god;

Always wanting it to be near,

Not thinking of it as a fraud.

It is clear that this planet earth,

Has been slowly passing away;

As man has devalued its worth,

All the ways he has gone astray.

So do not have any concerns,

About it for God has given;

A new home while this one burns,

When we go up into Heaven.
