we,
humanity,
are standing at the
threshold
of greatness

we,
simple primates.
stare at the stars
as our ancestors did
and wonder similar thoughts
but through a different
lens

we,
peoples of the earth,
know our true potential
and seek it without our
knowledge
for we,
common life forms,
know the urges of the flesh
to grow and change
and evolve

we,
at our greatest,
have conquered an entire planet
and now look forward
at the expansion to other
worlds

yet we,
at our weakest,
destroy our home
and only seek out
the stars as refuge
from the inferno of our
own home

we,
humanity,
must make the effort
to trust one another
to remember those needs
that our ancestors had
to be with each other,
as sisters and brothers,
and use that togetherness,
that strength,
to fight off those things
seeking to erase us from
history

we
must stand together
no matter how little
each person may be

we
must be as one,
and only one,
to continue onwards
and upwards
like we have
for so many
centuries

we
will be one.
we will be the species
amongst all other species
that decided to stick together,
to be together,
to be one,
as we venture out
into the frontiers
all around
us.
