PERSPECTIVE

PERSPECTIVE

A Poem by Phil Roberts

Born of the sun and earth
And kin to the moon and sea
Life's immensity
Exceeds humanity
And the planet needs us
No more than fleas
So don't be fooled into thinking
We will always exist
In terms of the universe
We are no more than dust

Beautiful perspective. I looked for something meaningful and this write-up certainly did not disappoint.
I have always believed that we are nothing but spots on the pale blue dot that is the earth.
Planet needs us no more than fleas, Lovely line.

Kind of thought provoking. Into the wondering. Is the human race something with a greater purpose, or is it just another replaceable, unimportant part of the world like dust? Nice work.
