Planet Earth (Poem)

Planet Earth
Michael Jackson

Planet Earth, my home, my place 

A capricious anomaly in the sea of space

Planet Earth are you just 

Floating by, a cloud of dust 

A minor globe, about to bust 

A piece of metal bound to rust 

A speck of matter in a mindless void 

A lonely spaceship, a large asteroid

Cold as a rock without a hue 

Held together with a bit of glue 

Something tells me this isn't true 

You are my sweetheart, soft and blue 

Do you care, have you a part 

In the deepest emotions of my own heart

Tender with breezes caressing and whole 

Alive with music, haunting my soul.
In my veins I've felt the mystery 

Of corridors of time, books of history

Life songs of ages throbbing in my blood

Have danced the rhythm of the tide and flood 

Your misty clouds, your electric storm 

Were turbulent tempests in my own form 

I've licked the salt, the bitter, the sweet 

Of every encounter, of passion, of heat 

Your riotous color, your fragrance, your taste

Have thrilled my senses beyond all haste

In your beauty, I've known the how 

Of timeless bliss, this moment of now

Planet Earth are you just

Floating by, a cloud of dust 

A minor globe, about to bust 

A piece of metal bound to rust 

A speck of matter in a mindless void 

A lonely spaceship, a large asteroid

Cold as a rock without a hue 

Held together with a bit of glue

Something tells me this isn't true 

You are my sweetheart, gentle and blue
Do you care, have you a part

In the deepest emotions of my own heart

Tender with breezes caressing and whole 

Alive with music, haunting my soul.
Planet Earth, gentle and blue

With all my hear, I love you.
