A misdirected bullet fired in mirth and zest

A misplaced word emblematic of indiscretion

Nations against nation, soldier against soldier, best against the best

Infinitesimal pale blue dots seeped in unfortunate condescension

Carl Sagan’s warnings; Carl Sagan’s prescience

His magnificent conscience
