As the drum's solo echoes amid the nightmare of struggle and the cries of our species heightens. I ask, with great sorrow, why a tomorrow did not exist that saw a far greater promise; that promise, a world. This world no longer in chaos; its chance amidst the heavens slightly greater than before. It would not be an individual, not a state, not a country, but a world. We would stand defiantly against all odds as Earth, our home amidst the cosmos. We would face these odds not as a Utopia, but as Earthlings. As such, we would know that no matter what we faced as a world there was something worth fighting for, something that has beckoned our species from beginning, something I would fight till death for, and that is freedom. My belief firmly rests in the knowledge that this freedom can exist, and that not you, nor I, but all are privileged to this. To state otherwise would be a blight on the human race and a crime against our world. This is our world, this is our chance.
