A Visit From AliensA Poem by DaleI wonder what aliens really do see When from their far planet they watch you and me Do they stand there and wonder how it could be That we say we love one another, when war we decree
We show them racism, hatred, and greed They see what we do to get things we want but don’t need But, do they see when someone does a good deed Or only when one lashes out at another with great speed
Do they really find it that hard to understand Why we use up our resources, and destroy our good land Do they see proof we’d extend them a big helping hand To solve their dilemmas, when our own are so grand
There’s no proof of existence some scholars discuss Add your differences to ours, others want them to rush Just come down and visit, put an end to the fuss But, I wonder if maybe those aliens are just smarter than us © 2014 Dale |
