“My space expedition has changed my perspective towards people. Looking down at the Earth, we could not see borders or people with different nationalities. It was then that realization dawned on us that all of us are a group of human beings and citizens of the universe.”

Sunita Williams – NASA Astronaut

Beyond ego's orbit, we set our sights, 
On an expedition where compassion ignites. 
Away from selfish dreams, we'll choose to see, 
The world's shared sorrows, our true destiny.

In this cosmic voyage, we'll leave behind, 
The narrow confines of a selfish mind. 
To remember the pain, the world's cries, 
And reach for the stars with empathetic eyes.

For in the vast expanse of space so wide, 
We'll find a perspective, hearts open wide. 
To mend the world's wounds, we'll find our way, 
On an expedition that cares, come what may.

An expedition to lands burdened by strife, 
Where hunger persists and claims innocent life. 
In the quest for solutions, we'll firmly stand, 
To nurture education across each land.

Through empathy's lens, we'll bridge the divide, 
In the face of despair, we won't step aside. 
War's harsh grip, we aim to unbind, 
A mission of love to heal humankind.

With hearts full of hope, we'll dare to heed,
The change these poor countries so desperately need. 
An expedition for a brighter tomorrow we'll strive, 
For a world where all souls can truly thrive.
