Infinitesimally Scaled People

Infinitesimally scaled people Of the forgotten planet Pitter patter the surface of their planet. Almost atomic in demeanor! Though bulldozered many times over. They mutilate, bleed, Their infected flesh ooze with green. Infinitesimally scaled people Of the forgotten planet, Live their lives Scavenging from the Garbage Bins. Infinitesimally scaled people Of the forgotten planet Look upon the vaulted sky and Pray To be remembered! Once in a while, perhaps On their national remembrance day! Infinitesimally scaled people Of the forgotten planet Cry real tears like us human beings! Their offspring are reared on mother’s milk. The floor under their feet creaks; Unfamiliarity creeps into their existence! So they freak and hit the streets Living on the cardboard scraps again! They shave and shower on the streets! Infinitesimally scaled people Of forgotten planet Inject themselves with opium like Substances! Sometimes they trip and sometimes they expire!
