Proportion

How many people do you know,
Do you really,
Understand?

A half, or perhaps
Round dozen?

Oh, you come from
A large, 
extended family?

So, twenty, 
even thirty then?

You're gregarious,
Extroverted,
A social butterfly?

So, you connect,
Deeply with,
Sixty,
Seventy,
One Hundred?
(flit flit)

Now, there are
Literally(!)
Billions
Upon
Billions
Of people in the world!

Think, understand 
And with a sense of
Wonder and
Proportion
In equal measure
Shrink your 
Nameless fears, and
Small-minded prejudices
To a more
Accurate
Size
.
