Nice To Be Special (poem)

By Rich Peters

This Universe
Fourteen billion years old
Two trillion galaxies
Two hundred billion trillion stars
gotta be at least a trillion inhabitable planets
One of them called Earth
Where billions of species come and go
Then pfft man appears
In God's image no less
And this Earth
Hell this whole Universe
It is all ours
To enslave, to degrade, to destroy
And then we go to Heaven
What are them odds
