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
The aggregate of our joy and suffering
Thousands of confident religions, ideologies and economic doctrines
Every king and peasant, every young couple in love
Every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer
Every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician
Every superstar, every supreme leader
Every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there
On a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam
The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena
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
Think
