Planet Earth

Welcome! to Planet Earth Where entrance is for free But if you stay,and who you are Will be a postcode lottery Come right in and look around There is so much to see The fields of green The mountains high The beautiful deep blue sea. You could reside on land With a sunburnt sky Or live amid the forest trees You could camp on ice Beneath snowy peaks Or linger by the seas. You could be black You could be white Yellow, red or brown Have wealth or not You just won't know Until they put you down You could toil on land Or fish at sea Or maybe live in luxury. Famine fear and bigotry Or misery galore A hint of happiness here and there Could be what in store. Tears, joy,laughter,pain You'll experience all these things So take a gamble if you dare And lose you angel wings.
