Yet the World is Still Bigger

What has man done?

we have built skyscrapers

that seem to go on to the heavens

yet mountains are taller

 

we have made airplanes

so we can fly high in the sky

yet birds fly higher

 

we have built roads

so we can drive anywhere we want

yet volcanoes sizzle them, hurricanes block them, and avalanches take them out

 

we have built houses

so that we will always be warm

yet a good storm can knock em' down

 

we move from place to place

just because we can

yet while we have to stop sometime, clouds never stop moving and the earth never stops spinning

 

we take up the entire world

because we are so great

yet the world is still bigger
