Electron planet


The scale of life is relative to all,
What is large to an ant, to us is small,
Our planet shrinks with each year that passes,
But what if it was so small we’d need microscopic glasses?

If our solar system was merely an elementary atom,
This Earth of ours would be an insignificant orbiting electron,
The galaxy we know maybe just a complex molecule,
Of some much grander genetic pool.

Billions of galaxies exist beyond our viewing,
Maybe all contributing to some humungous being,
Perhaps a massive form of me surrounds our outer space,
E=mc² could ultimately prove to be just at snail’s pace.
