The End of The World, a poem by Lucas Lin, 11
Lucas Lin, 11Somerville, MA The End of The World Lucas Lin, 11 When the world ends, what shall I do? Go to hell? No, thank you. I have more things to do than think about death But the topic always comes to my mind It will happen some time or another What will I do when I am about to be gone? Hiding under the bed won’t help at all. When the world ends, what shall I do? I’m too young to die Maybe I can save it for another time But when you die it always seems Like you have many more things to do When the world ends, what will I do?
