A Man Said to the Universe

A man said to the universe:
"Sir I exist!"
"However," replied the universe,
"The fact has not created in me
A sense of obligation."

This poem by Stephen Crane involves the naturalistic element of the universe.  A vast topic of space and time.  The poem is saying that the people are not entitled to life just because they are living now.  Life can be taken away in the blink of an eye.  No one is obligated to keep someone else alive except for the person in control of their own life.
