Pale Blue Dot

A small blue marble rests in space.
This pale blue dot is where the human race
Has ebbed and flowed for thousands of years.
Our triumphs, our tragedies, our hopes, our fears
Have taken place here.

But our small blue marble, floating in place
Is endangered, and it is our doing.

Pollution, destruction, desolation all around.
We kill, we waste, we devastate, and we tear down.
This little blue marble, our home, is dying.
Disbelieving, doubting, defying, and denying
Doesn’t help.

We need to stand, we need to fight,
We need to take up arms for what is right.
So much is at stake, so action we must take.
