Contemplation on the Odu Otura Ogunda

It's still
Out here
Lying in the grass
Looking up at the night sky
Body hurtling through space
A million miles an hour
Quickly going nowhere in particular
I am humbled by the thought that
Even a state of rest
Is a state of extreme motion
The immensity of it all
Reminds me
How meaningless it is to hate
How insignificant it is to fight
How pointless it is to divide
We live on this rock as one
We die on this rock as one
Why not choose to spend
What little time you have
Making everyone’s journey
Through space
A beautiful one
Do something
Anything
To spark
Love
Then sit back
And enjoy the
Fireworks
