Who lives at the center of the universe? Me! This is true for all of us. Close your eyes and plug your ears and everything disappears. I always wonder how others see the world. Is blue the same hue between me and you? What does cabbage do for you, and do we all hate broccoli more than the flu? We might never know, or even bother to find out! Maybe we should care a little more about the worlds of others? It might make ours better!

Ever wonder about the center of the universe?
I will reveal its location with this verse,
in no uncertain terms and maybe a little terse,
removing all doubt and views diverse.

When I look to the left half of creation is there,
and to the right of me the rest is laid bare.
I look up, then down, still I am right in the middle
of this ages old riddle!

I am the man at the center of the world,
everything in it no matter how old,
was placed here for me so I can always see
who is the most important being in this melee;
and it’s me!

Unfortunately this also seems true for you,
and every other person I have ever seen or met,
causing much envy and unrest with so many beset
by the delusion that them being the center is true!

I just smile and shake my head,
and put all fear and concern to bed,
completely convinced that they don’t know
the center of the universe from their own elbow.
