"If" questions wrap my mind into shapes previously unexplored.
Personification of earth sounds like science and English class combined.
So I guess its like life.
"If earth was" well, Earth is, but isn't imagination so much more fun than reality.
So all of my fantasies about Earth and life could be true.
If earth was good.
"If earth was a person" I don't think they'd be very nice. Probably back-stabbing
And violent. With Multiple-Personality Disorder. LOTS of personalities.
And probably confused, with some ethical and kind and some greedy parts.
"If earth was a person, where is the head?" Probably not with the people who are running it!
The head and the heart work together and the heart is innocent and pure...or should be.
The children.
They are the head of the world because they are the author's of the future.
The controls of destiny.
The self-fulfilling prophecy

You took the prompt as a statement which you can debate. I like the image of mankind with a did, the socalled "mind" of earth....however mankind arrives at earth about two millioen years ago, while the earth is much older....its quiet original done lol
...Your diction is good, I wish you worked out more of your thoughts, make the lines more connected with each other. Thank you for entering the contest.

Great imagery!
I like the idea of a bodyless head
Sort of makes the body insignificant, and it is actually, especially if our children is the head, which is the future.
Very clever.
Thanks so much for entering and best of luck in the contest.
Hugs
Sonya
