Not Thinking Of Test Tubes

Looking to the sky no longer imagining flying
Spying up at the stars knowing that there's a distance to describe how far
The history of us dreaming where we are now
Would never wake up if they knew
The visionaries, scholars and those who dared to speak up
Couldn't believe what their naysayers could see
But in this world of all this and the other
I can't help wasting time and wonder
Does knowing that the sun in the sky
Doesn't revolve around those like you or I
Make it's presence just there that more great
Or that grasping the how and the why
Of what goes on inside me when I'll die
Make me wish for any longer to live
I'm not saying knowledge ain't great
Or that wisdom ain't fab
I'm just putting it forward that just looking and being amazed has it's benefits.
