A Fraction of a Dot

in the universe our planet occupies a very miniscule spot.
Imagine the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors,
so that for a moment they could relish in all of their victors,
of a fraction of a dot.
In all of its vastness, no evidence in the universe dwells,
that help will come from elsewhere, to save us from ourselves.
