city lights

I have never felt so inferior as when I stood on the forefront of the Industrial Revolution, Great gears 8 foot round tower over me, Vast towers 20 feet high, and they are common. And I was astounded at mankind’s greatness. I could see the skyline of the city 100 feet tall And the bridges stretching across whole rivers, And then I truly looked. I saw the earth, the sun, the moon, a thousand galaxies and planets All pointing towards a single drop of dew On a single petal, of a single tulip In a single garden, at a single house. And I saw the lines on my hands that only I have, And so I stood on the frontlines of God’s revolution. And I was astounded.
