Small Picture, Big Picture
I
We recall rulers like Nero, Pol Pot, Donald Trump
Take sides, revise history, a recent election
While among voids lie shocking Light Years
40 billion more suns at cosmic center, Plain -
That halves the universe, "Galactic Plain" -
As science gives theories: Bang, Cycles, Inflation
Poor planet earth is lost in THERE, indistinct
No landmark, the Universe, interdependent
Only the telescope is 100b LY to cosmic heart
II
Earth is inconsequential - but for God and Incarnation
In the Milky Way Galaxy (among trillions?)
Just nearest us in Cosmos, 300 million planets
Likely to have Life as we know it, our Milky Way!
And yet I did find Trump burning like a meteorite
Interfering with the atmospheric pressure & light
Amazed by the microcosm, so fake & real, until
The Macrocosm speaks ... I am a worm but for Christ
