Fart Philosophy

Bacteriophage is a virus
That infects bacteria.
But for its population 
As whole-
The effect is just a fart.

Bacteria infect humans
As well. There's a talk
Of even superbugs now.
But at a species level-
The effect is just a fart.

We humans fight for 
Land, go for wars.
Ruckus over a marriage 
Sex and children-

But the Earth goes on
Rotating unbothered.
At that level-
Even we're farts.

Issues of planets are
Farts at star level.
Issues of star are farts
At Galaxy level.

And ultimately, when
Everything stinks down 
To one thing--

All existentialism is 
Is a way of saying how
How we're just farts.

And all amped-up 
Self-pride is just 
The other way of saying 
How are 'The Farts'.
