Life, The Universe and Everything

Immensely vast and shockingly cold, with pockets of energy sprinkled sparse, 
The Universe is mostly dust and space, quiet and indifferent to human farce.
Earth exists as a one-off aberration, as if a pulse emanating from a black hole,
How wonderful it would have been, if Earths prospered from pole to pole.  

Always hungry and eager to grow, with everyone food and con-specifics few, 
The Life is mostly about fight and survive, and only the strong get their due. 
That compassion be wired and inbuilt, is as if a miracle just came true,
How wonderful if life was all about, thriving together with Love as the glue.

Afraid of death and in search of a god, with flashes of reason and insight a little, 
The Human is mostly flesh and blood, playing the given hand, refusing to be second fiddle.
The inner voice howls and haunts and taunts, faint and inaudible, its presence a boon, 
How wonderful it would be, if instead of playing God, humans found their Humanity soon.  

I'm merely an impotent observer and poet, a chronicler of the times, 
How wonderful if my words become an Oracle, and not mere rhymes.
