If I die tonight

if I die tonight
would you remember me tomorrow
if the sun went out
the stars went dark
would you remember me tomorrow
if I died tonight
if a tornado landed
tore up a town
sun went out
stars went dark
would you remember me
Tomorrow
if I died tonight
if the rivers rose
flooded the ground
if a tornado landed
tore up the town
sun went out
the stars went dark
if I died tonight
would you remember me
Tomorrow
if the stars went dark
the moon went out
rivers flooded the ground
a tornado tore up the town
would you remember me tomorrow
If I died tonight
then stop your madness
for I am all ready dying
for I am the earth
river's are my vain
bursting out at the seem
you think that is just a tornado
No, it is a sneeze
you see
now I got a cold
I just had to blow my nose
I am dying can you not see
I am the earth
would you remember me
if I die tonight

Thank you so kind for stopping in LadyMorgan. I think through poetry we can band together and make a difference even if it is a small difference I know we can open eyes and let the world know people care.

Hi Orientalkoru

Thank you for stopping in.

Not to make haste. but the world would indeed be here tomorrow if she died because the world did not explode and pulverize into nothing I did not say that. I simply said she died. Eventually but over time all life would cease to exist. but there would still be a tomorrow. as the storms on earth increase with intensity eventually just wiping out everything. but see man is so narrow minded he would just continue on with his normal day to day things and not even notice if the earth died in fact it seems like that now with the soils of the earth so polluted the waters the very air. she is as bout dead now as she can be she cannot no longer sustain her natural beauty. thank you for stopping in.. Hope this makes sense..

"WOULD YOU REMEMBER ME
IF I DIE TONIGHT""

So very touchy Kick. I am sure she will.

I am ready to sit down with you and SA on the project. Please let me know what to do. The sooner the better that we start.

Thank you so much \kick.
