As astronomers
measure the speed of gravity,
who measures the depth
of human depravity?

God only knows.

We can look to the stars,
but sometimes
they are mis-aligned.
It makes more sense to me
to look at the center of the earth,
the heart and soul
of humanity.
'And the beat
goes on.'

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

Kacy, even though astronomy is interesting to study (to me),
I still believe the "heart and soul of humanity" is the most
important to really be  "concerned" about.

Now, I hope this doesn't start a  LONG  discussion,
because that's only MY opinion...... HaaHaa!!!

Enjoyed this thinking piece.
