I’m the last human left on the planet,
there’s nobody here but me,
they’ve all been replaced by robots,
I live up the last ever tree.
I used to be someone important,
and decide on others’ fate,
now I’m the last human left on the planet
- the guardian of the gate:
the gate to the rest of the universe,
the stairway to the stars,
if the rockets can get past the millions
of empty flying cars.

Sad commentary on humankind

This is great. I might not have grasped your intention but -  it makes me envision a bloated, arrogant leader who made decisions that led to the destruction of mankind and now brags their survival. A striking symbol of the leaders of today.

The beat of your heart is the mellifluent rhythm to my soul.
