You Are Orphans, Earthdeirdre, Your Homeworld Already Buried So Young Among The Aeons.

HomeFortune CookiesSunday Morning After Church

You are orphans, earthdeirdre, your homeworld already buried
so young among the aeons. Yet now you fill the skies where
we watched a million sunsets with flame and contrails, paying
no heed to the hard lessons the universe has tried to teach you.
Are you a breath of life to invigorate a complacent world,
you earthhumans, or an insidious cancer which must be excised?

-- Lady Deirdre Skye,
"Conversations With Planet"
