i didn't write it, it's from a Anime movie that came out 1987 called Wings of Honneamise.


Can anyone hear me? I'm the first man in space. If you look up, well, maybe you'll see it. Or at least please listen. We've left the oceans and climbed above the mountains. I'm flying. We've found the untouched realm of God. You have to look now it's your only chance. Nothing is here yet, not even air or water to ruin. Soon the next man will follow to touch it, and another, and in all the rush we may again destroy it. Maybe our killing comes from the madness of being confined? Please listen! There's no more reason to kill because we don't have any more borders now! Can anyone hear me? If you can hear me, then pray. The humblest of all things, the most noble. Pray for each step you take. Make a path that's safe so those who follow shall never stumble. Dear God, please give us your mercy. Mercy for we are lost. Forgive the irresponsible, the trivial men who beg you from the dark for the forgiveness of your light.

    Bit like a prayer.... nice. I wonder how it would have been received if you hadn't told us it was from a movie :D Well, I think.

    it's so sad how we've competely fucked this world up.. i hope man never makes it to an untouched realm of God only to destroy that shit too...

    sadly we're drunk on technology and we are making our way beyond this planet

    this is a most beautiful prayer but the desperation in it touches me most... give man a chance and sure enough he'll make borders and he'll kill... he'll stumble and finish off the path too

    That WAS a real eye-opener--thanks for posting it.

    The plea begs for hope. I'd like to think that there is some.

    If we dropped our borders, religion, skin color, etc. what would we have? one human race.

    If we DIDN'T drop our borders, religion, skin color what would we have? Oh yeah--one human race.

    Or not so sad, as in technology brings us together in ways that wouldn't otherwise be possible.
    Like that PJ forum thing...

    such a nice thought half half ...everything you've said : )

    it is our fucking nature
    we are just a more highly evolved animal
    territorial
    jealous
    justfiably indignant
    as some brains evolve to a higher enlightenment
    others evolve to make better war strategies and weapons
    the more we know
    the less we fucking understand, especially about ourselves
    fuck 'em if they can't take a joke
