Bigger Than Yourself

Bigger Than Yourself, By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB/META and @Brianrrs37 on Twitter/X)

Often skeptics are frowned at, scoffed at
Theists are puzzled by and can’t get by
Why we don’t see a magic man in the sky

A bigger picture we do see
I am merely one of 8 billion living currently
There is humanity, certainly bigger than me

A bigger picture we do see, that of nature’s glory
Earth, our only home, 24,901 mile circumference
There is our planet, certainly bigger than me

A bigger picture we do see, that of nature’s glory
From the sun, to the edge of our solar system
That’s 17 billion miles, certainly bigger than me

A bigger picture we do see, that of nature’s glory
The observable universe 93 billion light years a cross
The universe’s 2 trillion galaxies, certainly bigger than me

I am humbled and amazed by everything I see
The universe, life on earth, and all it’s diversity
I simply don’t attach all this to old Bronze Age mythology.
