In the matter of all things great and small,
What's your scale of measure?
How do you judge it all?
Is greatness the ability to infiltrate?
To subjugate?
To relegate?
Or is greatness to ability to sustain, maintain?
To live within one's domain?
We scour the Earth, living my unsustainable means.
We poison our own water, make it difficult to breathe.
In the matter of all things great and small,
Despite our great achievements,
We still remain quite small.
