Ha Ha 2 Poem by Paul Brookes

toooooooooooooooo long
or ttttttto short time moves swiftly on or stalls
ah well its just as I thought
life a'int what you are,
after all you are just a microbe, the subject of your sensitive subjectivity
don't let life crush you your importance is null to the power of ten.

waking we see the world but by days end it's changed
in oh so subtle ways, a different light sheds out the grass is greener
or is it paler the earth spins and we inch forward.

the universe does not recognise her children, she is too vast for that
and we, we think we are important but no just specks,
irritants in time.
when we are no longer here the universe will carry onindifferent to our demise.
even so, though we are small, our spirit's great,
that is the conundrum of man.
