There, I stopped the writing brush as if I'd remembered.

『Hmm. Then, today I'll talk of a world a day before reaching its lifespan.』
The World’s Lifespan and the Last Day
At last, tomorrow is
the "world's last"
birthday
At that fact
told out of
seemingly
nowhere
people panicked
and danced
sadly
Unable to do anything, I
simply
prayed
Just like always,
breathing
in and out,
crying,
laughing,
complaining,
chatting,
saying "I wanna die already",
talking,
telling,
disagreeing,
going places,
travelling,
needing,
even if someone left this world,
it'd always be
an unending game,
or so we'd thought
Wishing
for things,
and praying
as well
was completely
natural
To me, sighing
over fashion
seemed like only a performance
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
World peace
or world collapse,
■■■■■■■■■■■■■
we had no sense of them
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
So the big shots
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
thought once again,
■■■■■■■■■■■■■
isn't that just a prank?
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
Because in this lie-covered country,
to the masses like us,
the right to "know"
is practically nonexistent
I had a bad dream
seeming as if it were reality
Everyone misplaced their everyday
public masks
People changed, acting as if they
were animals
■
Unable to do a single thing, I
simply
looked on
We'd always hidden our
true nature,
instinct,
worldly desires,
inferiority,
impulses,
behavior,
Only, even more,
liking,
bonding,
revealing,
emptying,
taking chances,
plowing,
even if we liked each other,
it'd always be
a forgiving game, or so we'd thought
People who
wished,
those who
prayed as well,
were all
fake
Fashion tragedies,
to me,
seemed like only a performance
World peace and
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
and the end
■■■■■■■■■■■■■
have nothing to do with each other
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
So the big shots
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
thought once again,
■■■■■■■■■■■■■
isn't that just an assumption?
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
But, the painting of hell was beyond expectations, well,
as expected
It'll simply end today,
everything'll end
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
Even if you pretend to be the heroine of a tragedy, it's still nothing but a performance.
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
The evening engulfing the city seemed a bit lonelier than usual
The evening sky's
blurry stars are
unbelievably beautiful
The big shots have already
given up and
exposed their true natures
The plastered on
lies are laid bare
and upon us masses
the "rain" fell, wetting our cheeks
World peace or collapse,
either is fine
On the final night,
"lies" would vanish
from this beautiful world---
But the desired next morning instead comes calmly
and the people dropped their shoulders, laughing
The world uneventfully greeted the morning.
"Welcome back."
"The salaryman who walked towards the station seemed happy today as well."
>> 『People may die, the earth may die, but the world won't end.』
『So then, how about trying to live honestly at least today?』
『You. Me. And the world.』
『The truth, dirtier than any pile of trash, is
The World's Lifespan and the Last Day
