Sometimes I wonder if humans are no more significant
then the insects beneath our feet.
Consider that no matter how important a human is
or thinks he or she is
when enough time passes, the human won’t even
be a memory.
And look how many humans die everyday by some
catastrophe showing how expendable we are.
Consider, too, all the evil in the world and how
humans haven’t progressed beyond wars.
Are we really as relevant as religions claim or as
important as some humans think they are?
Sure we’re more intelligent, more advanced, but
in the larger cosmic scheme of things
with time we become as forgettable, as insignificant
as the insects beneath our feet.
And humans might destroy themselves with their propensity for
creating more bombs with the power to destroy more humans.
