We are the Dreamers of Dreams

Humans, over time, have evolved at a frightening rate. Once, we spent our days collecting fish and picking flowers, but now we can talk to people from Dubai to Antarctica at the click of a key. We can send pictures of an Eskimo to the burning sands of the Sahara. And we don't realize this.
We're sitting on an enormous, volcanic hunk of rock in the middle of the a galaxy containing hunks of rock similar to ours. We could be hurtling through space, colliding into anything nears us if it weren't for gravity. We have so many laws that help create our planet become a pile of rubble. Our world started out as nothing, and now we have a massive amount of technology.
Sadly, our world is dying. No, not global warming. Our nonrenewable resources are dwindling away. And they are, in fact, nonrenewable. Sure, our renewable ones can come back, time after time, but slowly. We can't stop it. We need the resources to walk through life, we can't change that.
We don't stop and stare at the beauty of the world. We don't see that, through the heavy smog, lies a beautiful land. We don't notice the way the snow blankets on the trees, or the noise the rain makes when it drops to clash with the earth. Our world is truly amazing, and I wouldn't like it any different. Earth is what makes us humans, humans.

Don't Panic
