WHO ARE WE?

Who are we?

the ultimate conundrum

comprised of 90 percent star dust

hydrogen carbon nitrogen oxygen iron sulfur

dust from dying exploding stars

a complex biological machine

topped by an unfathomable mind

yet utterly unimportant

with a life span of 0.000000005

of the age of the universe

and still

we think we are uniquely important

masters of our own domain

know-it-all’s with imagination

when in fact, truly

all we are

is an iota of dust
