Four billion stars In our Milky Way Two million light years away from the next galaxy Planet Earth Is no more than a grain of sand On the infinite beaches of eternity As we drift Like teardrops Through the oceans of time As the universe Ebbs, and flows Like the pulse Of an irregular heartbeat Forever growing Expanding Into a vast unknown Humanity Is no more Than a small island race Of comparatively small ambitions We can change the world That is all Yet our leaders See themselves As gods That in reality Are no more Than **** holes In the soft ****** snow of existence
