AFFINITY
I stood gazing into the black dark night
Watching curious spectacles in space
The vastness of all that is dotted with light
Made me question the whole human race
Surely there is more than black and white
That should occupy the thoughts of mind
Grander things for which we should fight
Nobler endeavors that we could all find
Occupied by our own opinions of desire
Caught up in the human condition of life
We fail to notice all that exists to inspire
And join in the rat race of stench that’s rife
We are human beings on this planet Earth
A grain of sand on the beach of infinity
Yet every person is of value and of worth
And this fact alone should be our affinity
