"THE U.S.S. EARTH"


The UNITED STATES SPACESHIP EARTH
Makes ready for its flight of birth
Within the mighty rocket , is one woman and one man
They're going to start a new world, the way ours once began
Heading for a planet in a galaxy unknown
The ship will fly uncharted space, where man has never flown
The journey will be far and long, for the children of the earth
Placed into the spaceship, on their very day of birth
The children will be cared for until they're fully grown
By a computerized life support system, the best we've ever known
The day the U.S.S. EARTH must leave, marks the beginning of the end
When the powerful nations of the earth, their missiles they will send
Yes, the day we feared would never come is getting very near
That day is Armageddon, its coming and that's quite clear
The destruction of the earth, unnecessary as it may seem
Will be the final answer, to an unsolved everyday dream
The warheads that the missiles bring, will accomplish in minutes what centuries have failed to do
And that's to bring everlasting world peace to everyone, including me and you.


"I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty". ( Rev.1.8 )

"FEAR"


Although I fear death
I fear life even more
For life has taken all I've got
And left me ragged and sore
I have tasted life
It's taste is sweet to some
It's taste to me is bitter
So, I wait for death to come
I have but yet to taste
The kiss of death
But I won't have long to wait
For I feel it's cold, cold breath
Listen! Do you hear?
I need not wait no more
I hear death's knock
And it's knocking at my door
