It's a dot in the darkness
an ocean covered planet, son...
people argued out of love
loved to argue so much
dams collapsed, oceans spilt over
some cried the sky had fallen
they were taken for loonies...

To go back to populate that blue spot
what was there to enter your thoughts?
too much effort was spent on personal space
too much time on distinctions between races.


An insignificant dot in eternal space
it's inhabitants couldn't ever save face
they knew they could have lived better
but went all out to pervert the weather...


Look at us now in this canaled land
so different from where we once stood?
The urge to be diverse has followed us,
perhaps differences destroyed the trust..
or through indifference it was undermined,
that the blue dot could hold us no longer...
now you've decided to head back
as if you could mend old tracks!

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

Martin, an enjoyable adventure, and pondering that ending, the logistics of returning to the scene of the crime.
