Out of nothing
There's something
In the infinitesimally vast universe
Lies the Goldilocks Zone
Within the zone, a multitude of
A few million years ago
Saw the inception of Homo Sapiens
Circa two thousand years ago
Was the dawn of Christianity
As time elapsed, technology advanced
Humans adjusted to the modern comfort
Except at this very moment
I looked out the window from my room
And realized everything is on fire
The pandemic, the war, the catasrophe
They all keep waging on
As a gift from the pioneers of state-of-the-art inventions
I turned on my phone and listened to a lullaby
The lyrics comforts me
In the perpetual cycle of humanity
Of Struggles
Of Triumphs
Of the polarizing nature of the two
Like the exhale and inhale of the lungs
One cannot exist without the other
Only when we desperately try to keep all the oxgyen
Do we suffocate
Only when we overindulge in our triumphs
Do we forget our insignificance in the midst of struggles and calamity
As the lullaby comes to end
Even when the music is gone
Everything will be alright
For human existence is both good and bad
Struggles and Triumphs
Yin and Yang
Dusk and Dawn
Their contrast makes us human
