The Second to the Last Person on Earth
The Second to the Last Person on Earth
If you were the last person on earth, nobody would care.
If you were to wake up late, you'd still be alone as you get out of bed.
You'd be greeted by a cereal box you didn't think would be prepared.
Do you even really plan to eat? Who's left here to care?
The dining table has 4 chairs, but you're the last person on earth.
Why don't you ever eat properly?
Why are you always in your room?
Are you planning to bathe yet?
What do you even do?
Nobody really nags you.
Not when you're the last person on earth.
But you're not the last person on earth.
Far from it, actually.
One and two don't seem too far off, but not when each human life is so valuable.
So before it takes a year for the bar of soap to finish.
Before the floor is left messy and dirty.
Until there's nobody else to wash the laundry.
You're the second to the last person in your own earth.
