The Universe Is Not Broken

by Sam M. Phillips

The confusion runs parallel with trust,

Looking out on an infinite universe,

I feel fear tinged with love,

There is no doubt my life is important,

But my dreams might not count much in that,

Life goes on, even living in a box,

I see what my trials have given me,

But surely they’re leading somewhere,

And a reward is coming,

This society might be broken,

But the universe is not.
