SPECK

A poem about a speck, can you guess what it’s called and who lives on it?

a speck in multiverse
infinite universes embodying infinite planets
or
specks

beings named humans
arrogant
thinking they are much smarter than they really are
we are so great that we must be the only ones
there is no way that any of the other specks can have life
especially none as smart as us

too scared to open their small minds
to the possibility of other life
safety in fear and a shared narrative
oppressed, disempowered, controlled

a speck on a speck in a speck among infinite other specks
