You are HereA Poem by OmikronI saw this picture on a subreddit and got inspired.Published in r/Spaceporn by u/paslightyear You are here, Paying taxes and living in fear. Moist cheeks shine red and bare, 'Neath a bursting tear. You are here, A cog in the wheel, spinning flair, Dazed and giddy, unaware, Headed to nowhere. But you are here, Fasted belt as another steer, You taste the rubber in the air, Screeching, grinding gear. You are here, A pitiful creature, a lit up deer, Drowned by the noises of mortal drear, You can't even hear. What's here, there and everywhere, Surrounded by beauty you can't compare, The twinkling sky on a night that's clear, Cosmic secrets appear. Why resist to gasp and revere? At a vault coated in pitch-black veneer, The Milky Way shining like a chandelier, Swinging in the cosmosphere. You are here, Paying taxes and living in fear. The universe radiates an ancient glare, Earth spins yet another year. And you are here.
