Question: Who am I referring to in this poem!?
Please try not to put "A dead person" for an answer!. I want you to read carefully and really think!.(I would appreciate it)

" Death has fallen upon us
As he lay!.!.!.!.breathless
We are just here
With no care in the world
Laying under the sun
Like nothing has ever happened!."

Just write who you think I'm talking about (not as in names)!.
This is just basically taking a guess, it won't hurt if you got it wrong!.

I can give you a hint: The person I'm talking about isn't really dead in the poem!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Hm!.!. My best guess would be a boyfriend!? "We are just here with no care in the world" sounds sort of cliché with things that have to do with relationships, ya know!? Not cliché in a bad way or anything, but something that would give off that relationship vibe!. When I read "Laying under the sun" I pictured a couple on a cliff, a tree beside them, sunny day, laying just outside the shade of the tree under the sun, happy together!.
Well, that's my opinion, lol!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

On an educated guess, I would assume the environment, or perhaps an allusion to global warming!. "Death has fallen upon us," seems to mirror the deteriorating atmosphere and "breathless" refers to (in my inference) to a world where oxygen is lacking (following up with deforestation, ozone layer loss)!. "We are just here, with no care in the world" would allude to the oblivious human public and "laying under the sun like nothing has ever happened" might furhter emphasize the apathy of human nature to observe subtle changes on the environment!.

Ergo, my answer would be: The Environment!. On similar level guesses, Deforestation, Ozone layer deterioration, and Global warming!. All of which are inherently connected to the root of the Environment!.

I could be of course, completely off target and overanalyzing it, but the pieces make sense!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

IT'S TALKING ABOUT US, humans, how we don't care about what happens around us!. We just care about ourselves and how we've become selfish and have become like robot, not enjoying of nature and caring for people, instead worrying about our money and material things!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It sounds as though you are referring to the widow of someone who has died or the child of someone who has died!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I would say boyfriend except for thefact that the first line sets a mood that makes me think of something else completely!. My guess is people!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
