Giant intruding the invisible realm
An astute tactic
To feed delusions of grandeur
Ignoring the actual giants above
Cruel reminder
Of the innate insignificance
Us creations hold
Outside the safer bubble of rock, hydrogen and oxygen

As above so below
Two hostile deities
Both aiming for our obliteration
While we helpless inhabit somewhere in the middle

Must be the reason
Behind our conviction
To annihilate first
Reflect after

I long to uncover
All the secrets the two kingdoms hold
Buried deep within
But hidden in plain sight

The pieces are there
We simply lack the understanding
Of how to fit them together

Both kingdoms render me weightless
For vastly different motives
One oversaturated of life
Cannot handle anymore
Its soldiers decimate us for even thinking of trespassing

The other largely void
Almost lifeless vacuum
Hostile in nature
Not unlike a introvert
Poisoning those in the periphery
To conserve their solitude state

How fortunate and convenient it is
Me being capable of flight and swimming
