Void

poem by: John Prophet
Written on Nov 16, 2024 

Void.
In the
void.
Humanity
sprung.
Blue dot
in the
evermore.
Civilization
as such.
All that’s
known.
Understood.
Derived.
Humanity
great and
small.
All accumulated
knowledge
attained.
Infinitely
small.
Minuscule
ant farm.
Scurrying
around
on a
negligible
speck.
Perspective
lost.
Perspective
never
attained.
Humanity
lost
in the
void.
In itself.
False
sense
of importance.
Center of
nothing.
Point of
existences?
Live
and let
live.
Nothing
more.
