We Don’t Mourn the Moon

We don’t mourn Mars. We get our hopes
Up for some of the large moons, but

We don’t weep for what they have lost
What they might lose. We don’t mourn them.

We weep for what’s ours. What we feel
We’ve lost, for the cost of us, what

We thought we had and want to keep.
We are the Earth’s. Earth is not ours.
