Kirk's Deception

Captain Kirk once has told me,
Earth is the fairest planet in the universe.
He must have looked superficially,
and know earth only from out of space.
But then again Doctor McCoy once has told me,
that the most beautiful thing that he'd ever seen,
was a cluster of mortal cancer cells,
magnified a million times under his microscope.

Many people have told me,
love is the fairest thing in the universe.
They must have looked superficially,
and know love only from the screen.
But then again many others have told me,
that the most beautiful thing that they've ever seen,
was the look of their (and only their own) little child.
