The Center of OUR universe

Just on my mind.

The Universe, what is at our center?

We believe the world revolves around us

How can we not when that is all we see

You don't see life through your friend's eyes, but yours

We believe we live for us and that is all that counts

We do our best for ourselves, but forget

Our friends are the center of their own universe

We affect them and their life in numerous ways without knowing

Our teachers go home to their family, or to an empty oasis

They feel emotions, same as us, but we see them only as instructors

We don't think of the lives we may have affected, or the ones they have

In an "I" society of wanna be everybodys, how can we be taken?

We ignore the small heroes of today

Or the big time leaders of tomorrow

The story of a lifetime or a lifetime of stories

We miss because we stay isolated, and just keep to oneself

Social Networking makes fake friends with voluminous followers

Ones who only know how to like and comment

But we miss the point of getting to know them and who they are

Their dreams and aspirations, what they wish to achieve

We miss stories of every day good samaritan

We instead tune into the latest crimes and devastation

We care more about the pain that is caused

More than the pain that has been relieved

I am at the center of my universe and you are at the center of yours

Which is why we need to learn all we can about one another

To hear stories and learn from the wise

But until then most unknown heroes slowly die
