The time has come to pack our toys,
leaving childish ways behind.
Our species should be adult now,
with a strong and logical mind.
The fairies, gods, and daemons,
products of a younger day,
should be set aside, and forgotten,
as we move on our way.
We have work to do, as grown-ups,
to improve, to save, our earth.
The responsibility is solely ours,
now we must prove our worth.
of ignorance, and of fear,
have given too much death and pain:
our responsibility is clear.
the journey’s now begun,
to build an inclusive haven of peace,
with freedom for everyone.
The time has come to pack our toys,
leaving fools and tyrants behind:
our horizons are bounded
solely by our collective mind.
~James D. Fanning
