  1. We have one collective hope: the Earth And yet,
  2. uncounted people remain hopeless, famine and calamity abound
  3. Sufferers hurl themselves into the arms of war;
  4. people kill and get killed in the name of someone else's concept of God
  5. Do we admit that our thoughts & behaviors spring from a belief
  6. that the world revolves around us? Each fabricated conflict,
  7. self-murdering bomb, vanished airplane, every fictionalized dictator,
  8. biased or partisan, and wayward son,
  9. are part of the curtains of society's racial, ethnic, religious, national,
  10. and cultural conflicts,
  11. and you find the human ego turning the knobs and pulling the levers
  12. When I track the orbits of asteroids, comets, and planets,
  13. each one a pirouetting dancer in a cosmic ballet,
  14. choreographed by the forces of gravity,
  15. I see beyond the plight of humans
  16. I see a universe ever-expanding,
  17. with its galaxies embedded within the ever-stretching
  18. four-dimensional fabric of space and time
  19. However big our world is, our hearts, our minds,
  20. our outsize atlases, the universe is even bigger
  21. There are more stars in the universe than grains of sand on the world's beaches,
  22. more stars in the universe than seconds of time that have passed since Earth formed,
  23. more stars than words & sounds ever uttered by all humans who have ever lived
  24. The day we cease the exploration of the cosmos
  25. is the day we threaten the continuing of our species
  26. In that bleak world, arms-bearing,
  27. resource-hungry people & nations would be prone to act on their low-contracted prejudices,
  28. and would have seen the last gasp of human enlightenment
  29. Until the rise of a visionary new culture that once again embraces the cosmic perspective;
  30. a perspective in which we are one, fitting neither above nor below, but within
