All The Works Of Nature Which Adorn The World - Aurorae

Look again at that dot
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 hunter and forager
Every hero and coward, every creator
And destroyer of civilization, 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
That's here, that's home, that's us
