We are not the first to speak, we are first to understand that we spoke
No context knowing existence of species lost to extinction's finality
Pure arrogance for us to assume knowledge of grandeur and disasters
Of worlds and creatures gained and then all lost in tragic destruction
Lost in time, in disarray and madness, from nature, or human choices
We may not have created high level math, or build amazing things
Recent events are exciting, rare finds of artifacts are amazing, and yet
It is only a veneer of knowledge of context of this planet called Earth
Let us be humble, and let us respect our world, and pray to survive
For the telling signs of the future look to us to be the last humans
For reasons of our own actions, and of those we've no control
Perhaps we will ultimately live, with all of humanity's tribes
In the most glorious change in outlook, and a healthy hive
How glorious is our home, let us be humble, and care for it
Forever
