Reaching Out

Despite how much you do,
Someone's always done more,
Even then, it is a roll of the dice,
Whether it's good or poor.

You don't know if the right ones have seen it,
They are always out there,
Fifteen billion possible eyes to catch,
Eleven of those of an age to care,

One hundred million might speak your language,
Maybe they will translate,
But can you find just the right turn of phrase,
To which all can relate?
Others have tried,
Really, that is the point,
The day we cease to exist as a race,
Is when there're no prophets left to anoint.

15 billion eyes??? There are 7.53 billion people in the world! Are there really 60 million people with no eyes?
