Look Again –

It’s everyone you’ve ever seen
It’s everyone you’ve ever known
it’s everyone that’s ever dreamed
It’s everyone’s home

It’s every hunter and forager
It’s every hero and coward
Every creator and destroyer
Every king empowered

It’s every couple in love
It’s every mother and father
Every hopeful child
Every moral scholar

It’s every corrupt politician
It’s every star singer
Every supreme leader
Every saint and sinner

Look again, at this pale blue dot
That’s here, that’s us, that spot
It’s everyone, that has ever been
A mote of dust, suspended by a, sunbeam
On a tiny stage, in a cosmic show
It’s the only home, we’ve ever, known

It’s the sum of all our joy
It’s the sum of all our suffering
Countless religions
Ideologies and doctrines

It’s rivers of blood spilled
To conquer and inhabit
To master a fraction
Of a pixelated planet

It’s frequent misunderstanding
It’s to kill and dictate
The endless cruelty
How fervent their hate

It’s all our posturing
It’s delusions of being right
Our imagined self-importance
On a pale point of light

Look again, at this pale blue dot
That’s here, that’s us, that spot
It’s everything, that has ever been
A mote of dust, suspended by a, sunbeam
A tiny stage, in a cosmic show
The only home, we’ve ever, known

It’s our planet alone
On a lonely speck
Enveloped in darkness
The vastness reflects

It’s the folly of human conceits
It’s everything we observe
Illuminating our duty
To cherish and preserve

Look again, at this pale blue dot
That’s here, that’s us, that spot
