Anthropocentricity

how do we come to understand

for what is small and what is grand

of where we fit and how we stand

we, the centre of this land

the one compare we hold to know

the measure of man as we do grow

what's big is big, what's small is so

compare to us! all things we know

it's natural for any mind

to be the pole of all we find

but underneath our soulful glance

the height of wayward arrogance
