Welcome to the third rock from the light

Welcome to the third rock from the light
On the third rock from the light
There’s a party going on
All the action
All the life
And all the death
All the destruction
There is hate here
Nowhere else is there hate
But here
But there’s love here
Nowhere else is there love
But here
You can feel here
And you can go numb here
You can hear children playing
There’s mama laughing
There’s grandpa napping
There’s babies born
There’s large goats standing on
Menacing mountain tops
Here
There’s roses growing
Through cracks in cement
Here
There’s living
There’s dying
There’s harm
There’s healing
There’s charm
There’s cheating
There’s free will
There’s blame
There is guilt
There is grace
You can get all the joy anyone could
Here
And you can get all the pain imaginable
Here
There’s amazement and wonder
There’s truth and knowledge
There’s compassion and consciousness
There’s beauty
And ugliness
And hope
Here
There’s no place like it

Welcome.

I really like how you were able to shed light on the extremes and somehow managed to demonstrate the beauty in all of that. Upvoted.
