Merely a dot on the greatest of arts.
Go ahead and play your part.
Run like a rat trapped in a cage,
work and work your minimum wage.

Don't come crying to me,
when it tears at the seams.
I've told you once, I'll tell you again.
Your merely a dot on the greatest of arts.

The author's comments:
I was riding in a car and for once I had a amazing view of the night sky. When I really pay attention to how much is out there, my own insignificance becomes painfully apparent.
