If I were an alien

From outer-space

Traveling across vast

Time and distance

I would be attracted

From my first sight

Of the blue-green

Pearl floating amongst

The stars

Seeing its beauty

Not desolate and dead

Blue waters teeming

With life’s riches

Green, dense dark

Vivid

Circling around I would

See a promise of

Happiness love meant

To be

There are mountain

Peaks of snow

Descending with rivers

Filling lakes with

Their flow

Valleys and plains that

Sweep to the horizon

Amongst them forests

And farms and towns

Then I would see

Scurrying around

Planes in the air

Cars and more

On the ground

People there are

Colors diverse

Sounds from their

Mouths carrying their

Verse

What is this I wonder

When I first encounter

Death

Why do they starve

And die of thirst

Strange I believe

Their religions preach

Peace and love

And respect of dignity

cc: Jeff Kubina - https://www.flickr.com/photos/95118988@N00

The closer I see

The more I wonder

Is this a garden

Or place of disorder

cc: bionicteaching - https://www.flickr.com/photos/29096601@N00

Enough there exists

But humans don’t know

The truth

As their fears,

Greed, and hatred

Stimulate and

Mistake them

cc: rittyrats - https://www.flickr.com/photos/25229920@N00

Oh why,

I wonder

Does such a place exist

Where is the love

Dignity and bliss

Religions promise

Until now no one has

Seen me

Me things this is best

As no one will believe me

cc: carmen zuniga - https://www.flickr.com/photos/26116603@N05

Run away I think

Before they can see me

Oh my heart breaks

From across all of space

When I think of the waste

That now I have seen

cc: DeeAshley - https://www.flickr.com/photos/43559902@N07

From the distance the

Beauty I felt

Now know I

Is naught

As I turn

My back and

Depart

My report is filled

The pages stained

By my tears

I share my sense

That the people here

Divide each other for

Little more than

Their pride

cc: skippyjon - https://www.flickr.com/photos/77909728@N00

False

The truth is

I find the surprise

My first observation

Showed no divide

No boundary existed

From the heights of the skies

I saw no distinction

Come again

Two maybe three

Thousand years later

Reported I to all the leaders

Visitors in the past had

Seen much the same

But for me,

My first visit

It seems such a shame

If asked I would tell

Their DNA is 99.99%

The same

I would let them know

Their God feels great shame

Given the truth

They act and

They blame each other

For the problems they

Create all in vain

cc: Rosa Menkman - https://www.flickr.com/photos/68716054@N00

So much they have

Yet so little they care

For others or

Even for

Their own

cc: Taylor.McBride™ - https://www.flickr.com/photos/33537150@N06

Why

Can they not respect

Each other

Why

Do they divide, hate, and

Kill one another

cc: TORLEY - https://www.flickr.com/photos/70285332@N00▓▒░ ░▒▓

Why I cannot answer

Perhaps some will do

What I could not perceive

Yet found to be true

cc: david.nikonvscanon - https://www.flickr.com/photos/12568962@N00

Tear down those walls

You see to be true

The truth is greater

Than you or you or

You

Home is where the heart

Is we believe sincerely

But a heart filled with pain

Sees not so clearly

cc: mohammadali - https://www.flickr.com/photos/93154619@N00

Come fly with me

I promise your return

When you see your

From up high above

This place

Your home

cc: MightyBoyBrian - https://www.flickr.com/photos/97058136@N00

Then perhaps, but again

Perhaps not

You will see no boundary

No divide from

Them

cc: minnepixel - https://www.flickr.com/photos/89932500@N00

No reason to

Continue your hatred

And so then

Live and love

As it was meant to be

Goodbye planet Earth

I pray you awaken

And find and

Know your great wisdom

Love each other

Feel compassion for all

Is it so difficult to imagine

Is it so difficult to do

For my people, yes we are

People too

These are

Our ways and

We hope

The same

For you cc: Jim Nix / Nomadic Pursuits - https://www.flickr.com/photos/34825346@N02
