WORLD WITHIN WORLD

WORLD WITHIN WORLD

At first glance, we are a single entity
On our slowly spinning planet home
Yet with a subtlety in such quantity

As we look up to the starlit dome
Are we more - or less, than one
A missing tooth in a plastic comb

Perhaps a final age has now begun
Could it be a race we cannot win
Or is it that what’s done is done

As none of us is knight or paladin
Is it now time for us all to reflect
Now all that’s left is an ironic grin

To study in depth, we must begin
Discovering another world within

Very nice. The rhyme scheme is interesting and so is the subject matter. I like the line about the missing tooth and the one about knight or paladin.
