All I Need is People


Imagine a world

Filled with people, life

Inspiration, Ideas

Love, Laughter

A bustling, humming

Land

Alive with desire

 

Things you could never

Imagine

Others create

Brightening the world

With culture, Art

Music, Film

 

Slowly spreading through

The land

The sea

The universe

 

Amongst this lively world,

Lurks darkness

Death, injuries, and destruction

Caused by our fellow people

Even with these

People gather and collaborate

To further our world

Our lives

 

Creating cities and towns

Friendships and connections

For ourselves and generations to come

 

Now imagine a world without people

Except for one

You

 

A cold, quiet

Emotionless place

Void of creativity, Imagination

Love, Warmth

Only yourself

To keep you company

To inspire

To create

 

With the lack of others

How will that lone person live

Will they survive

In this lonely world

Or will they slowly

Disappear

With no reason

With no trace

Gone

 

Leaving this world

For the memories of a past life

Of people now gone

But not forgotten
