Please don't kill yourself

I'm sure everyone here has heard

the typical spiel about us and the universe 

how the atoms in our bodies were fused in stars

how insignificant Earth seems from afar

 

how we are all the cosmos understanding itself 

to care for Smart Life, it may exist nowhere else 

but I want to focus on the fact that we're here

 

that you can ponder touch someone and drink a beer 

at the same time in a glorious machine

that we call a body as you careen

 

with an air bubble stuck to a rock

where inside spins a molten magnet top 

flying through the cosmos a Thousand Miles a minute 

but you have in your skull the most complex thing in it

 

you see space isn't much more as far as We Know

than fiery gases and Dusty snow 

it has no feelings it can't fall in love 

these glorious inanimate objects don't think of

 

anything in particular they just are  

hurling and whirling along with the Stars 

you, on the other hand

 

you think

 

you love

 

you create

 

you fuck

 

you breastfeed

 

you dance

 

help those in need

 

advance

 

yourself to be better than who you were 

bring meaningless chaos order 

the exception to entropy 

the light of consciousness

 

you, my friend are alive
