Lifeform

Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors
So that in glory and triumph they could become the momentary masters
Of a fraction of a dot

The delusions that we have some privileged position in the universe
Are challenged in the great enveloping cosmic dark

The earth is the only world known so far to harbor life
There is nowhere else at least in the near future to which our species could migrate
Visit yes
Settle not yet

In our obscurity in all this vastness there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere
To save us from ourselves

It underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another
And to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot
The only home we've ever known
