(Response to USA’s Space Force song “Semper Supra”– “Always Above:”
Always Below—song of Earth
©2023 by C. Jenny Walbridge
Here on Earth we never miss
Chances to love, times to kiss.
Moon shows path in days and nights,
Sunny jokes while Sexy lights.
Beneath our legs around, Earth goes.
Like snakes, our body wisdom knows.
Born from wombs of mammal dudes:
Mommies teach, dads drawing nudes,
All spinning stories for the bands,
Planet of sea and homes of lands.
Yay, when we look afar at us
Eyes are tearin,’ but no fuss.
Moving is our law down here:
Science says to us, don’t fear,
For, as genes said, we’ve felt the end:
Life and death will be our friend!
While below we care for others—
Elders, children, sisters, brothers.
Jumping high yet being held,
Gravity our futures meld.
Jeweled brooks will set the mood—
People feeling gratitude!
We can edit like a genie—
Need care, but not from a meannie.
My vision opened the letter–
Returns us to living better.
I see plain and I bee sky:
Queen of all, here! Have my eye!
Comfort abounds in this new song,
Play, feel the demise of wrong.
Earth’s provided for us—hear!
We find out who we are! Don’t leer
At our fine world, our flag unfurled.
Mark garden, creatures, in hope curled.
Change is upon us, jump for joy!
For each them, they, and girl, and boy!
