"Man in his arrogance"
-Carl Sagan
--May you rest peacefully amongst the stars--
All we have destroyed..
Look at the skies..
Those stars..
Those dreams..
Those wonders..
Money and power
Splendor and valor
Music and our judgment
We do seem.. Paradoxical
Harmoniously dissonant
We were given ourselves..
By Nature or by God..
A gift of a chance..
Why do we draw lines?
Lines of paper copied from earth
Counties and countries
Simple foolishness
Earth is home
Keep it simple
Help it stay that
Your opinions matter
My opinions matter
It is our species
It is what we know now
All the meanings we create..
Humanity is insignificant
When sketching with the pride of ego
As we drew lines around beauty to claim it
We whittled ourselves down
We must not hate intelligence
We must view Humanity..
As the Moon did long ago..
A blue wonder's residents..
Miracles..
Free of lines
Free of our own abuse..
I am only words..
Love is my hidden explanation for respect
So I worry for her..
The moon..
I would see her tears
I would hold Earth's Moon's hand..
I would if I could..
She exists terrified
She would float away
She strains against our gravity
I cannot blame her..
We made life a fire in front of her
Yet still there is Hope..
We could build a floating heaven..
You are not bound to Hell
You can live
So live and forgive..
The stars are waiting for you..
Embrace your dreams
Make them yours..
We are us..
And us is all we have
Nothing is forever..
Life exists to be lived
