“Get who gets you”

“Get who gets you”
Goes a mating service jingle.
“Earth” the Planet’s name.
If Nature on our orb was alive—
Made in a deity’s image?—
She/He would likely want to be known as a pleasant place to stay and dine
With no starvation and without rapine.
So, don’t seize me or my stuff! And why not point out the berries?
We the people shall overcome…ourselves:
To get her! Grasping, holding, helping—on target: the future!
Liking the species,
I think this is inspiration that the Planet does well.
And easily.
“Earth” means more than “soil;” more than “land,”
IT INCLUDES OCEAN, BROTHER BARRACUDA AND SISTER SQUID!
Who do eye, how to Why?
US, togetHer, here, everywhere,
Hear we: today!
And where else does One live?
