We Are But a Mere Blink

We Are But A Mere Blink This blue marble spins like a top ever forward in time, never stop Yesterday was a picture so long ago a bloody river in epic timeless flow Yet we could never give up our past memory serves to make love everlast Time is so like a never ending tree life never lasts and nothing is free Life measured by the beats of a heart future seen looking back at the start Flesh wraps the soul so hidden within time erases all that has ever been This blue marble exists for just a mere blink Mankind lasts forever, or so WE arrogantly think! Robert J. Lindley , 08-12-2014 note: According to research, the universe is approximately 13.8 billion years old. Scientists think that the Earth is 4.54 billion years old. Mankind may be as old as 7 million years. Most scientists would reply that modern Man probably appeared around 100,000 years ago, the culmination of a long-drawn process of Darwinian evolution which begun several million years ago. Compare 100,000 years against 13,800,000,000 years! We are a blink....
