Insignificant You

The world goes round and round and it doesn't suffice
While you are lucky to go round maybe twice or thrice.
The sun burns down our planetary neighbour's face
And a thousand degrees cooler, we scream about its unforgiving rays.

Rocks orbit aimlessly amidst the vast expanse
But we look to strip every rock here to make our cars and fans.
A friendly wave would take 8 mins to reach the next lifeless rock
But we don't stop to greet our elderly neighbour in the block.

Stars and parents are solely responsible to incubate life
But alas the cinema stars are more revered, what a strife!
We reach out to planets and aliens and the search does continue
While the plants and animals suffering next to you doesn't subdue

Like a mother the sun burns itself out to make life comfortable, with no regrets
While we burn all our ancestral fossils to light our pubs and cigarettes
Ants live in the billions and thousands get stamped out everyday
Perhaps there is a lesson if only you pause to think on a busy day

There are a billion rocks out there in the sky
But only one where a billion lives can fly
You will only begin to appreciate the beauty around you
When you realise you are but an insignificant you!
