Starlit Message

If only more of us bothered to think,

Made the effort to realise,

How much more there is,

To what we see. If only more of us took time as a helper.

If only we were to stare up at the stars, 

We would realise how insignificant we really are. 

All of you who are full of yourselves, 

Look at the sky on a starlit night.

Then you will realise,

That we could all disappear, 
In just one of those flickering pin holes up there.  

That is why there are stars,

To convince men of their mediocrity. 

But why are there men? 

Sometimes I wonder.

This is another early poem 1986-1990
