A Universe so Wide

A sun so bright

A world so big

A universe so wide

With so much light, space, and wonder

most of us are so unhappy and ungrateful

Even in the dark our sky is full of light

and When the clouds cover up the stars

the moon is always shinning through.

With more daylight than darkness

we continue to complain

Seeking what we'll never find

In something far to wide

and never appreciating what we can see,

what we can hold, and what we've been granted

When will we see that the universe wasn't meant

to be explored, but to be accepted the way it's presented?

When will we stop planning for our problems

to get worse and start fixing them?

and when will we stop pointing out the rips

and tares in what could be better

but start repairing and making what doesn't

fit work in our society?

We've been given so much that it's not enough

anymore, we must have more and ignore

what is left.

They tell us our world is falling apart,

safe to say everyone knows that now,

but whose doing anything about it?

and the people who have virtually nothing

are the ones who pointed out how

the sun is so bright

the world is so big

and how the universe is so wide

Accept what we have and make it something

Worry about making our problems work,

rather than planning for them when

they get worse.

And be happy, know we have everything

we need, there is no point in looking for

something new when what was there before

Was just fine.

our universe is far too wide to be wondering

what could possibly be out there.

I say Enjoy what was given to us and keep

wondering and observing, not spending billions

on sending metal into space. Spend billions

on the starving country across the ocean.
