This is what a world filled to capacity looks like.

We all sat at the cafeteria table<br><br>My 2 aunts and 3 uncles and both their spouses, 3 cousins, my dad and his wife, my mom and her husband, my brother and his wife, and their three kids, my wife and our 2 boys<br><br>My grandpa died a week ago and today we all saw him off, as a family we laid him to rest<br><br>But I can't help but think that this is what a world with over 7 billion people looks like, where you know every face in the room, but so many of them you can't name<br><br>A world brimming with people, full of lines, full of noise, full of mouths to feed, and I'm not sure this is a good thing<br><br>For everyone who wasn't there, there are a thousand to make up for it, and today I wonder if we all have a place at the table
