Science Fiction - Alone In The World Poem by Paul Warren

The motel room was comfortable but not luxurious
I had been on the road for a couple of days in a rush
The end had come quickly and I had made it out
When the population was gone in a flash I knew nothing about
And people just disappeared in the blink of an eye
But some were spared and were left to wonder why

So I wander the Outback looking for others who survived
As the weeks go by there is no reason why others have died
And I have only found a few who are scared to come out
Who hide from me as through the country I travel about
Am I the only one who has been left with my senses it seemed
The more I search for an answer to this mystery I try to gleam

I have become used to being alone with my thoughts to myself
And the untold things I find that give me the world's wealth
But wait was is the light forming in the corner of the room
It is an ethereal being with arms outstretched piercing the gloom
And the beauty of the being's face I see now is formed blue
As it gave me the message to start the world again so true

The being disappeared and the darkness returned to the room
I knew why this had happened to renew the world with a new broom.
