Your poem sends the same message with so many others have sent down through the ages as though falling on deaf ears. It is a very good one, but no one is listening/reading/commenting.
We seem to portray those that would travel between the stars to reach us, as some diabolical killers. Is that what we think of ourselves? Is that what we would become when we travel to distant star systems like portrayed in our popular Star Wars series? I hope not and I think not.
I have often stated that we haven't reached, as a people, adulthood yet. We are merely children playing with dangerous things and using the earth as our playground while abandoning it in the process. Instead of making intelligent decisions we are creating AI to do it for us. It is about to bite us in the ass and make us grow up to the challenge of what kind of Earth we have created and need to restore to a more kind and gentle one.
I hope your wish and mine come true soon. There is little time left before ignorance will turn this world into anarchy and destruction like we've never seen before or since.
