In the rhythm of life, the same routine day I began,
A fifteen minutes' drive, turned to a three-hour detour unplanned.
Thoughts swirling through my head, a heavy heart that I bear,
Violence, chaos, and crime fill the air.
People struggling, hurting, and dying,
A surreal existence, it feels as if we're defying.
Earth and its beings, a wish to save,
Deserving more, the humanity we crave.
An exhausted soul, overwhelmed am I,
At this moment, let's appreciate and try.
Love, respect, and a share a smile.
Hold tight, recognize, and make your moments worthwhile.
Tomorrow's uncertain, for people like us,
Only in the present, in the moment, we trust.
There's more to say, but here's a wrap,
Nothing but love, let us bridge this gap.
Respect and love for one another,
In this chaotic world, let's stay safe together.

The stars and planets all whipped by as Deirdre's crystalline craft sped past them. Her people, the Vlondans, had discovered that the mineral Dianthium which grew so readily on their home world not only kept their hair pink but also was a perfect material for engineering spacecraft from.
