Planet Nine from Outer Space
(the sequel)
It’s out there
Will we see it
Will we be looking back
Before it hits us from behind
I have a name for it
Minerva
Because more wisdom should not hurt
Unless a planet can wage judgment
On another
It’s relative, I guess
If not ironic
When
We look for something new
In outer space
While on the inside
Do we hear the cry for
Something more
On Earth
A cousin to our planet
A source of helps and agencies
If willing
Maybe not,
To make us glad we’re not the only ones
Who can say
We’re here

Maybe it makes us feel better that there are others of our kind (or similar) out their, so that we are less alone. That we are not the only ones destroying are only home on earth. Maybe we are enterprising, happy there is posdibillity for life father earth, because we see the inevitability that one day we won’t be able to fix our mistakes and mistreatment or her (earth, Gaia etc.). Great piece.

Yes, I think knowing we’re not alone means more than we know. I hadn’t thought so clearly about others also making mistakes with their home worlds, which certainly makes sense. I do think folk wonder what will happen if we damage our planet irreparably through our own choices and actions. Sigh. Thanks for your insights!

You’re welcome. Hope they weren’t all depressing. 🤭
