Help

Who teaches the flowers to bloom?
Who teaches the birds to sing a different tune?
Who told the sun to keep burning?
Who told the world to keep turning?
Who taught the fishes to swim?
Who put out the fire from within?
Who taught the winds to blow?
Who never bothered to say hello?
Who told Red it wasn't Yellow?
Who has the power to make You feel so mellow?
Who created time?
Who said You were mine?
Who cried when You sneared?
Who told You to grow a beard?
Who said it was over?
Who asked You to shift to Dover?
Who gave it the right to begin?
Who can't see what's within?
Who are You to me?
Who died in the sea?
Who said You could come near?
Who taught You to fear?
Who cries in their sleep?
Who whispers while You weep?
Who believes in the end?
Who said You have a true friend?
Who taught You to laugh?
Who said You should wear that scarf?
Who started to run?
Who asked You to stare at the sun?
Who turns the night into day?
Who picks up when You have something to say?
Who cares if I live or die?
Shouldn't someone be asking 'Why'?

I like this one.
It's an almost stinging reminder of how insignificant we as individuals are in the larger scheme of things. And yet, it's an almost peaceful reminder of how irrelevant we are.
We are all totally free to be irrelevant, insignificant nothings. And in that nothingness lies our salvation.
