To see it is to see the greatness of Humanity
The clean, blue and green surface of our home. Snow-capped peaks and deep blue oceans. Scenic deserts and expansive plains. Then, beside the natural wonders, were the achievements of Man.
Mighty skyscrapers and monumental monoliths. From the cities of the modern age to the ruins of the ancients.
Of course, none of us can see it anymore. We couldn't control ourselves. Our precious sphere burned under clouds of radioactive dust. Fireballs reduced the plains to wastelands, turned the deserts to glass, and poisoned the oceans. We ourselves were brought to the brink of extinction when we at last realized our mistake
We brought this upon ourselves. Every last horrible blast.
We poisoned our oceans, burned our plains, and glassed our deserts. We brought ourselves to extinction.
So we clawed our way back. Back to the top
We left our destroyed world, spreading across the stars. We found new worlds to call home, making them into imperfect copies of that once beautiful orb. Where we found life, we welcomed them, and they us.
We never used violence unless it was absolutely necessary. We had finally learned from our mistakes
And those mistakes led us to unity
... Maybe they weren't mistakes after all
