It's All Relative

By Joseph McGowan

I am big, yet I am small
I am one, yet I am all
I have power, yet I have none
I am all, yet I am one

I stand tall above a simple ant
I can do many things he can’t
I have the power to squash him if I may
Yet I choose to let him live
And he goes on his merry way
And I feel better, for I would have surely felt worse
For I chose to live and let live
As all one in this universe

I am smart, yet surely knowledge I lack
Surely I have taken and now I give back
I’ve come to realize how big I can be
And only a fool cannot see the forest for the trees
For as you live on Mother Earth as she floats in space
Just think of all its people and animals living in every place
For life is all relative as you can see
It’s all relative, and so are we
