Love Poem: Children of the Planets

Children of the Planets

We are children of the planets,
We are children made of stars.
We once believed in a magic old man
Riding in an airborne sled.
With a bounty of unconditional love 
For every child, a bounty for any child.

We must remain those children,
Believing this love is universal,
Believing it is truly unconditional,
Love that glides on sleigh runners
Over ethereal vistas of clouds.  
Immortal love, so much greater than 
The sum of its parts.

To put an end to the Gaza genocide,
To put an end to future holocausts, 
This is the only hope for our species.
We are children of the planets,
We are children made of stars.
