As the world ended,
I thought of tea instead of coffee, as it lost it's appeal
As the world ended,
I swirled cream into my coffee as I do
As the world ended,
I dressed in the same manner as everyday
As the world ended,
I made toast to throw away
As the world ended,
I saw no one else, tho they were around
As the world ended,
I selfishly thought, How could you leave me here with so much time to go
As the world ended,
I realized it still existed
and
This was too much to bear
As my world ended....

Peaceful Purpose
I have noticed that in the professional sphere, as far as I have noticed, that many people choose to come to work, mainly with the intention of collecting a paycheck, which I completely understand, unfortunately, we all need money to survive in this world. I also feel very strongly about the fact that if you are going to work in a profession, you should certainly treat that profession, whatever it may be, with the dignity that its purpose entails, whether you are working in the medical field, or working at a fast food restaurant, you should do you best to do the best job you can, because when it comes right down to it, we are all humans, going through the trials, and challenges that this life can bring us, by working together.
