When the world ends
I know that I will hide away
in my friend's basement

He is more prepared for the apocalypse than me;
he has his food stored
and his water ready to go
and If he gets bored he has a surplus of beanbags
with which he can start a war

I relish the moments I spend in this
post-apocalyptic paradise
