Earth
Earth our gravity magnetic lava rock space ship,
Amidst the camp fire of our little burning sun,
The waters, tides and all life move with the moon day and night,
Take a second to breath in the air and look at the sky.
Humans reliant on the structure's of the Universe,
We forgot our place animals not Gods.
Gods in our mind in time we bend and break,
For now in gold we trust and lust is our nature.
We hide behind the lies of time.

You've dropped some brutal truths in this piece. "We forgot our place animals not Gods"... really speaks to the human ego and that some folks think they are higher than others (building themselves statues, etc), and yet time is the factor of life.
Nicely done.
