[bodytext] => It's the subtle things That bring us to our knees. Those underlying tendencies that destroy society. It's not the big picture that has us reeling; No, it's the details. The people in this world Cannot be represented by numbers. Do you think it even possible that you, With all of your ideas, your friends, your troubles, your follies and your victories... That you, as a person, Are in the long run represented by a number? The fall is that We are. We're just numbers, And to the galaxy - All the galaxies - The universe... We are little more than dust. Which, yes, I'm sure you've heard before. Makes you feel insignificant, Doesn't it? But how much do we regard dust? It's just there, isn't it? There and always in the way, barely large enough to make you Want to avoid breathing it in But small enough that we pay it little more attention than irritation. And yet we are so selfish, Drowning ourselves in our own ideals And fighting against our own world, When it's so much bigger out there. It's hard to keep the thought that this isn't it (Unless it is Is it?) Present in the mind. And I can still say what I will about this But the very moment I stop typing I think about where I'm sitting and that I need more tea.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
