A short glance through a telescope
Ignites a common wonder
About what lies beyond
This troubled world.

If another does exist
I hope they’ve figured out
How to provide happiness to all
And peace between nations.

Are children free to walk from school alone
With eyes focused forward,
Not told to fear strangers,
Or concerned with being taken?

Do wars breakout between countries
Over whose beliefs are true,
Over who owns the most land,
Or does such hate exist at all?

Are people judged for how they were born;
A colorblind world
With difference disregarded
And uniqueness praised?

Do they stare out similar telescopes
In wonder of what lies beyond
With hope that the morals are alike;
Not knowing how far we are behind?
