An Upside Down World - the Shrinking Universe

For tens of thousands of years man has roamed this planet By nature a warrior..a conqueror..an explorer He is a seeker of truth and a lover of grandeur The Pyrenees, the Alps, the Rockies, the oceans - Vast planetary wonders that stir a man To look outward and beyond, To travel to the moon in search of adventure . Man is at his best on adrenaline And yet. And yet.... Near the millenium that marked the latest thousand years Some man with a loud voice cried "ME, ME!.. I AM THE CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE!" And man began to implode He found himself amongst the subatomic particles - The protons and electrons and ions and neutrons Instead of grandeur he found himself in awe of himself. He manipulated the subatomic structure - which his eyes cannot see - To entertain himself and found that staring at a device No bigger than the palm of his hand....thrilled him and occupied his time' Adrenaline was no longer needed to satisfy man's spirit He was king of his own universe And it was no bigger than the palm of his hand. And the world turned upside down 2/27/2017
