Ode To Humanity the Beautifully Idiotic Part 1

Here we are on a huge hunk of rock- 
The most inorganic of matters 
Yet somehow we've managed to matter enough
So here we live in the cracks and the valleys
Enveloped in our own velocity 


Our vitality must charm this rock; 
The ocean will swallow us up, 
the sky will strike us senseless,
but we've managed to keep 
Our heads out of the sand faced up 
To the stars
