60 seconds left in time,
to throw the stones away,
watch them sink,
or watch them float
There is no time to pray

50 seconds left in time,
It's spreading like a fire
first comes fear
then comes denial
But hatred shall not tire.

40 seconds left in time,
where did we go wrong?
cry in fear
or trace the lines-
I'll stand here and be strong

30 seconds left in time,
Nothing won is free,
We feel the heat,
We pay the price
What they call ‘victory’

20 seconds left in time,
what isn't ours to take-
hugs and kisses,
guns and bombs
The wonders that we make

Just ten more seconds left in time
Prepare for aftershock-
close the windows,
close the doors
No time to watch the clock

Our time is up-
what have we done?
we're gone in
5, 4, 3, 2-

-------------------------------
And old one, eh?
Like, REALLY old. well, from someone as not old as me anyway u_u
I remembered people rambling about how good it was, and was like "I'm totaly going to hate this when I reread it," but on second glance, it only needed a few edits.
I hope you enjoy it

Alright, so I was walking through memory lane today (my old posts) and my goodness, guess what I found.
About a thousand incredibly sweet comments from you.
Therefore, I'm bumping this one up to the top, (which is incredibly wonderful by the way), and stopping by to tell you how wonderful you are, and what a wonderful writer you are.
Hope you still remember me.
