What if Earth stayed in bed
and didn’t follow its orbit some day?
When you imagine that,
what happens in your gut?

You know, like… “I’m bored today, Cosmos!
I’m also disappointed by the rest of the team.
Saturn is too gassy, the Sun is too hot.
The stars are too shiny, while I am not!
When will we elevate the system?
I’m tired of them not trying enough.

I hoped and hoped for a long time.
I need to stop; is it a crime”?

Can you imagine that, my friend?
Earth’s lips forming these words?
But why doesn’t she say that?
She knows she only has to do her part.

If every individual takes fully
their responsibility, and work
then the whole team will be elevated;
stop blaming, be self-motivated.

Just do your part of the job, I said.
Everything will be put in place.
Do you have the guts to be really responsible?
If yes, world changing is not impossible.
