Pale Blue Dot

from this diatant vantage point
the earth might not seem of any particular interest
but for us, it's different
consider again that dot
that's here
that's home
that's us
on it
everyone you love
everyone you know
everyone you ever heard of
every human being who ever was
lived out their lives
every hero and coward
every creater and destroyer of civilisation
every young couple in love
every mother and father
hopeful child
inventer and explorer
every teacher and morals
every corrupt politician
every superatar
every supreme leader
every saint and sinner in the history of our species
lived there
on the mote of dust
suspended
in a sunbeam
