SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT 
As I look at a nebula 
Through a telescopes eye 
the more it looks like 
the eye of a fly. 
Or we might just be parasites 
on a giant creature’s skin, 
just too large to see 
where it all begins. 
Are we just sea monkeys, 
in a puddle of urine? 
Are we that important, 
to be the center of everything? 
Does the knowledge 
of our own insignificance 
give us pause for alarm? 
Or do we go on perpetuating 
our dreams of grandeur? 
Do we go on believing 
we’re the only one? 
It’s something to think about 
in the long run. 
Yes, it’s something to think about 
when we are gone.
