We brag about it to each other

“Oh sure, we are the strongest, the toughest, the mightiest around.”

Humans brag about being a death world

But when the time came to set off into space

Our messages were of curiosity, of hope, a hope that we are not alone in this world

Before we sent people we sent our culture

Before we sent people we sent radio waves to see if there was more out there

When we sent people, they were united, explorers

Healers

Humans are space elves, a curiosity

Humans set off to find and chart new lands, only engaging when provoked

Someone can forget many details,

but they rarely forget how you made them feel. Whether through your words, your actions,

or the emotions you left behind
