Analysis of Pandora's Other Box
Contents of an empty box
It overflows with space
It stores the one remaining hope
Of the entire human race
Within its confines lie would-be hopes
Nothing tangible, simply dreams
Mankind's only hope to survive
And in our eyes it gleams
The box, it opens, I look inside
From the emptiness flies a dove
It tells us how to save ourselves
By remembering how to love
