19 Years ago today my soul landed on a seemingly alien planet. I was welcomed by neighbors but later found it was hostile. The terrain was falling and the life forms were going mad, murdering for sport with so little to gain.
One day my eyes were opened and I saw that the seemingly declining mental state of the world was not declining...it was just as crazy as it had ever been just our skill in murder increased and we got scarier.
So I looked up to the moon and the stars to see a land of peace and love. A place that welcomed fools like me...but I was no ordinary fool. I was, and am, a dreamer. One who saw the madness was capable of ending but still knew it wouldn't- one that looked up to the moon and the stars and saw paradise is more than afar. Lights and satellites, watching me, showing me its power.
49 Years ago today a craft landed on a seemingly alien planet. Welcomed by no one but himself and found the terrain was hostile but liveable.
That one day a man stepped out in to the moon and the stars and looked down at this little blue marble, this empire of dirt, and was amazed to see a land of color and of life.
He stood on that most peaceful place any man has ever stood! No war...no fighting...no death. Silence. One small step for a man...One giant leap for mankind.
19 years compared to 49 years. A man who lived in the corruption of color reached the paradise of black and white. And one kid watched as the peace he thought would never be obtained...had already been obtained long long ago.
