You vs the stars above
Look up at the stars.
Yes, all the way up there.
Now think, these giant stars, they make you seem insignificant, don't they?
Such large beings, they leave you feeling like a speck of dust upon a slightly larger speck of dust; floating around an average-sized star.
Surely that is what those giant beings believe,
That we are mere specks of dust,
floating in the galactic winds,
spiralling around the supermassive black hole at the centre of the galaxy.
We don't even begin to matter at all,
Their and our feelings, aligned.
Yes, surely that is so?
I have a question for you, and it is this:
Since when could stars understand anything that was just thought?
Stars are literally just burning gas,
That burn kind of bright.
They last a while,
And they make a lot of stuff.
That is it.
But you?
You can understand the complexity of the world;
Learn how much larger things than you actually work.
Discover, explore, comprehend.
Can the stars do this?
Of course not.
So why do you say we are insignificant compared to them?
Stars just burn away,
But you can set the universe aflame,
Or you can extinguish what is already there.
The choice is yours, the stars have no say in this.
