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

Yes... among the innumerable galaxies, our Earth is a microcosm of the macrocosm and man, lesser than a speck....! But we are granted such dignity and honor by God or else we would have been as insignificant as worms. Great thoughts Anil !
