Everything

I am not one to worry about small questions.

The world is at my fingertips and omniscience exists.

I am not one to ask, who is right or wrong.

I am not one to ask, which is better or worse.

I know lots of little things, and they are all matter.

The big I can’t touch, however, worries me at night.

I am part of everything else, including myself.

Many things I was, am and will eventually become,

packed into something everyone calls “me”.

All the things I have, posses and once made.

Things I have seen, learnt and discovered,

tossed together into a complex being of existence.

Most of everything else, myself included

is part of something more, something bigger.

Something I can’t have, posses or make.

Nothing I can see, learn nor discover.

Something I can barely describe on my own.

Countless of them have whispered

“something is yet to be uncovered”.

I just hope, one day, for humanity's sake

Everything will be bigger than “me”, “myself” and everyone else.

The execution of this...is quite compacted and gives the reader much to ponder in relatively a short amount of time...and though the insight is reflected in each stanza and comes about to an understanding each individual person can take with them...you feel the brevity of the meaning...

Thank you. I had ponderes using second person references half way through the second staza, thinking that using "you" instead of "I" would make it more interactive. Then again I like the uniforme apearance.

I would have to say --- stay with "I" --- "you" after reading again with "you" seems to lose interest in the effectiveness of the write...but that's just me...

No, your right, I'm satisfied with my first choice.

For me, these lines say it all:
I just hope, one day, for humanity's sake
Everything will be bigger than “me”, “myself” and everyone else.

I hope so too.

I believe that one day something will be that big, great poem L.P. as you say everything and all of us are are just small parts of the greater whole, sometimes we call God or the infinite being of existence, great writing thank you :)

[Alma W. Reis]

Thank you, I'm glad the feeling is mutual. It seems a lot of unimportant things have become the center of the Universe, leaving Man outside the inner circle.

[R Smith]

in this day and age i'd say we are way outside the inner circle and walking far from the true knowledge that is waiting patiently for our return :)

[Alma W. Reis]

lets hope we don't take too long!
