RESPECT OUR ELDERS

The wonder.
The awe.
The majesty
of nature.
We are mere specks
on the surface of life.
Mere dots on the
timeline of eternity.
We should know our place.
And respect our elders.

THE VIEW FROM ABOVE

The view from above.
People appear small,
tiny specks in the universe.
Cars are in constant motion.
Everyone is in a hurry,
going around in endless circles.
Going to work, and later
going back home.
Taking elevators up
and then down again.
What’s the hurry?
We all live the same lives.
We live and then we die.
Does it matter where we had
hurried around in between?
All that matters are
who we leave behind.
For these are the only
ones who will remember
that we had been here.
And why we had been here.

LIMTED ACCESS

Our view of the world is limited
to what our minds
can see and understand.
As we look out at the world
with our human eyes,
it’s as if we’re looking through
a small and narrow keyhole.
A keyhole that lets in only
select sights and sounds.
We should not be so comfortable
and arrogant with our lives,
for we are just specks in the universe.
Specks that are allowed only limited access.
