Lens Crafter
Do you know
That the universe
Millions of lights
Glowing bright
From such a height
Is in someone
As small as me
As small as you
As big as us
As great as we
Did you know
That your body
Our bodies
Is made from
Exploded stars
Nurtured by
A mother's love
Granted by
Someone above
Do you care
No matter
Your race
Your hair
The color of your stare
The troubles you bear
Love isn't anywhere
To be found
Someone's there
Someone's there
Do you care
That I am 99.9 percent
The same as you
Or him
Or her
Or them
Them
The people who told you
Told me
That we are the minority
Sit down
Take a seat
Watch while they run the country
Stay behind the line
It's not quite your time to shine
Because they didn't know
That they are in you
And you are in them
the allusion of boundaries
Has blinded men
Their eyes aren't strong enough to see
The atoms that flow freely
Between we
They decide
That we
We
Bounded to them by ties of humanity
Should be
Hungry
We
Bounded to them by the ties of humanity
Must decide
Between dinner
Or the lights
The same lights
Of the same stars
That exploded
In a different galaxy
That connects us
By the very air we breathe
By an invisible string
That knots the ties of humanity
We
The same as them
Categorize
Men
We
Sit in apathy
In the dark
Because we-
We chose dinner
Someone's there
Me
I sit here with you
In the dark
But my eyes
They are not closed
They see
That the only difference between we
Is the name you have given
Me
Them
Barbie
Ken
Me
I have made it my job
My dream
To sit with you
In this shaft
And craft the lenses
So that you can see
the light
Of the exploded stars
Looking upon you
Wherever you are
It may take years
For the light to reach
From the depths of space
But here I wait
I wait for you
And I hope to lead
By spinning these threads
That knots the ties of humanity
By an invisible string
A string that leads
To an entangled web
That connects me to you
And him to her
And mice to bird
As we realize
Open eyes
Grateful for the sunrise
That we
You and me
He and she
are just one part
Of this family tree
