Planet of People 

This planet of people,
our planet of birth,
mere mortals claim home
to this planet called Earth.

This planet of people
weary of daily discord,
coexistence vital,
for equity restored. 

This planet of people 
need joyous alliance.
teach truth, justice, 
and open compliance.

This planet of people
covet travel to Space.
A cause for all mankind
challenge science to race. 

This planet of people 
gaze past the Sun
seeking planets of people
beyond the horizon.

Are there planets of people
other than here on Earth?
Will these people on planets
find us first?

Our place on this planet,
to protect and care,
the trove of natural bounty
we must truly share.

This planet of people
until we are found, 
is a planet of people 
forever Earth-bound.
