I recommend that you read, or listen to, the entire poem.
“…………………………
When we come to it
We, this people, on this wayward, floating body
Created on this earth, of this earth
Have the power to fashion for this earth
A climate where every man and every woman
Can live freely without sanctimonious piety
Without crippling fear
When we come to it
We must confess that we are the possible
We are the miraculous, the true wonder of this world
That is when, and only when
We come to it.”
If you did not watch the video of Carl Sagan’s “Pale Blue Dot”, you can do it here.
