AFFINITY

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
