Eventually the flowers won’t grow
Eventually the air won’t be clean
Eventually the nice people will be heartless
Eventually world peace won’t be heard of
Eventually social media will be more important than human life it’s self
Eventually love will coast a price
Eventually kids won’t have an imagination
Eventually I’ll get up and move on with my life
Eventually I won’t be depressed
Eventually I will find someone or something to believe in
Eventually I will die
Eventually I will be remembered as the person that said “eventually” instead of doing
Eventually the life that’s on this world will come to an end, eventually people’s time will run out, and then they wonder how they spent their days, they spend their days saying ‘eventually’
Eventually the world will change
Eventually you will realise you could be the one to change it
Soon enough eventually will happen
