Man Vs Planet

It was decided long ago that 
Any round object orbiting the sun
Would be considered a planet
So Pluto was planet number nine.

Then came along those who said
Oh no, it does not belong there
It is different than the others
And so their name it cannot share.

Are we going to label planets
As we label our brothers?
Deciding who deserves a space
Along with all the others?

Even though we look different
We travel ‘round a central core
Each as unique as the planets
And loved by Him for evermore.
