1 Out of 8 Billion

The Day I Fall

 

The Earth Will Keep On Turning

Seasons Will Keep Cycling

The Sun Will Continue To Set and Rise

On Schedule

 

The Poet's Roses Will Stay Red

His Violets Will Stay Blue

And The Oceans Will Continue Their Dance

To The Rhythm Of The Moon's Gravitational Pull

 

'Cause I'm Just A Man

A Speck Of Dust

A Grain Of Sand

 

     ...Just One Man

 

The Very Nature Of My Insignificance

In The Grand Scheme Of Things

Should Put Me On A Path Of Humility

Yet Sometimes I Forget This Fact And Act

Like I'm Greater Than

 

But What I Really Am...

     …Just A Man

 

Sometimes Arrogant, Other Times Humble

Regardless

The Earth Will Still Remain Firm

After I Crumble

 

Over 8 Billion Souls On This Planet—

          I'm Only One Of Them

​

     Just One Man…

          …A Fraction
