The Finite and InfiniteA Poem by Katie
Earth has rotated on it's axis 1.6 trillion times since it's creation
There are 200 billion stars in our galaxy Each with a chance to support a solar system Each with a plausible Earth And 200 billion galaxies We will be here for 30,000 Earth rotations But stars will still be born and stars will still die Galaxies will still collide And the universe will still expand An infinite cycle While humans are merely finite, disposable, to be around for a millisecond in comparison to the universe's immeasurable time The universe is forever It is beautiful without needing an insignificant being around to enjoy it's beauty
