The End of Days

The end of days is fast approaching...    
that's what the doomsday prophets are anticipating    
Believers who called themselves Doomsday Preppers--    
prepared survival kits and everything keepers    
     
There's so many theories and religious interpretations    
of this coming judgment day they call Armageddon--    
Judaism believes in the Day of the Lord - when God    
causes death and destruction to those who deserved    
     
Islam simply calls the end of the world as "The Hour"    
Signs are clearly visible as Israel is fighting its new war,    
and we are experiencing unprecedented cataclysmic disasters:    
      hurricanes, floods, tsunamis, to meltdown of nuclear reactors    
     
In Hinduism, their God Vishnu rides a white horse    
with a comet-like sword and destroys the evil force    
While the Buddhists believe in Shambhala - in which    
the good triumphs over evil--as ugly as the witch    
     
In Shambhala, the planet is restored rather than destroyed    
I think the Doomsday Preppers would be pretty much annoyed...    
Both the Hopis and the Mayans have the same beliefs;    
for they don't prophesy that the world will come adrift    
     
They said, we are approaching the end of a World Age--    
If we transition with resistance there will be cataclysmic change,    
but if we move through it with acceptance and enlightenment -    
gradual peace and tranquility would be a crowning achievement    
     
It doesn't really matter whether the end of days is near    
for no one can know what's going to happen for sure    
People will speculate endlessly until it's all over    
My world ends...when you don't love me anymore!
