People,
prone as they may be
to the horrors of man,
are also gifted.
Gifted with the beauty of understanding,
the wonders of science, and the euphoria of awe.
We are no longer as incapable as firstborn man,
nor crawling like feudal kings.
Past now are the days of our stumbling industrial revolution.
Ascended,
we are now at full stride,
hopping and stepping forward
on the verge of a sprint.

Amazing us
with mind-blowing inventions
everyday.
Injections that provide oxygen synthesis, prolonged life without lungs.
The mystery of DNA storage on the verge of being unraveled.
The discovery of the god particle,
among countless others.
Today and now
Right now,
is the *******
of modern man with his eyes on the stars.
And it should very well restore even a little faith
in those that ever held a portion of doubt.
The future is bright.
