THE WORLD IS COMING TO AN END. BY BRANDON SLOAN AKA PRINCE EA

The world is coming to an end
The air is polluted, the oceans
contaminated
The animals are going extinct, the
economy’s collapsed
Education is shot, police are corrupt
Intelligence is shunned and
ignorance rewarded
The people are depressed and angry
We can't live with each other and we
can't live with ourselves
So everyone’s medicated
We pass each other on the streets
And if we do speak it's meaningless
robotic communication
More people want 15 seconds of fame
Than a lifetime of meaning and
purpose
Because what’s popular is more
important than what’s right
Ratings are more important than the
truth
Our government builds twice as my
prisons than schools
It’s easier to find a Big Mac than an
apple
And when you find the apple
It's been genetically processed and
modified
Presidents lie, politicians trick us
Race is still an issue and so is religion
Your God doesn’t exist, my God does
and he is All-Loving
If you disagree with me I'll kill you
Or even worse argue you to death
92% of songs on the radio are about
sex
Kids don’t play tag, they play twerk
videos
The average person watches 5 hours
of television a day
And it's more violence on the screen
than ever before
Technology has given us everything
we could ever want
And at the same time stolen
everything we really need
Pride is at an all time high, humility,
an all time low
Everybody knows everything,
everybody’s going somewhere
Ignoring someone, blaming somebody
Not many human beings left
anymore, a lot of human doings
Plenty of human lingerings in the
past, not many human beings
Money is still the root of all evil
Yet we tell our kids don’t get that
degree
The jobs don’t pay enough
Good deeds are only done when
there's a profit margin
Videos of the misfortunes of others go
viral
We laugh and share them with our
friends to laugh with us
Our role models today
60 years ago would have been
examples of what not to be
There are states where people can
legally be discriminated against
Because they were born a certain
way
Companies invest millions of dollars
hiring specialists to make Little girls
feel like they need “make up” to be
beautiful Permanently lowering their
self esteem
Because they will never be pretty
enough
To meet those impossible standards
Corporations tell us buy, buy, buy, get
this, get that
You must keep up, you must fit in
This will make you happy, but it
never does for long
So what can we do in the face of all of
this madness and chaos?
What is the solution? We can love
Not the love you hear in your favorite
song on the radio
I mean real love, true love, boundless
love
You can love, love each other
From the moment we wake up to the
moment we go to bed
Perform an act of kindness because
that is contagious
We can be mindful during every
interaction
Planting seeds of goodness
Showing a little more compassion
than usual
We can forgive
Because 300 years from now will that
grudge you hold against Your friend,
your mother, your father have been
worth it?
Instead of trying to change others we
can change ourselves
We can change our hearts
We have been sold lies
Brainwashed by our leaders and
those we trust
To not recognize our brothers and
sisters
And to exhibit anger, hatred and
cruelty
But once we truly love we will meet
anger with sympathy
Hatred with compassion, cruelty with
kindness
Love is the most powerful weapon on
the face of the Earth
Robert Kennedy once said that
Few will have the greatness to bend
history
But each of us can work to change a
small portion of events
And in the total of all those act
Will be written in the history of a
generation
So yes, the world is coming to an end
And the path towards a new
beginning starts within you
