LAST NIGHT ON EARTH.

LAST NIGHT ON EARTH.

A Poem by Chris Rampersad
"

Just wanted to make you think.

"

 

 

I walk out onto the porch tonight,

And looked up at that meteorite,

I no longer look in dread,

I've made peace with what lies ahead,

My kids, they are so young,

They know not of what will come,

I breathe in the cool night air,

I savour it,

For tomorrow I wont be here,

 

I hear the announcer on the radio saying what we all know,

That they couldnt stop that rock traveling the sky,

He went silent as he started to cry,

 

I walk into my kitchen now,

And there sat my love quietly humming a song,

SHE'S SO STRONG. I thought in pride,

As she looked up at me and bravely smiled,

Her lips they quiver and i squeeze her hand,

I hug her and stroke her hair,

 

We went over to the children's room,

And lay in bed together with them.

And silently listened to them sleep,

A tear glistened in the moonlight there,

As it rolled down my loves cheek.

I wipe it off and kiss her forehead,

And we hugged our kids tightly as we lay in bed,

Tonight is our last night on earth,

HOW WILL YOU SPEND YOURS?
