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

The closer I see
The more I wonder
Is this a garden
Or place of disorder

Enough there exists
But humans don’t know
The truth
As their fears,
Greed, and hatred
Stimulate and
Mistake them

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

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

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

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

So much they have
Yet so little they care
For others or
Even for
Their own

Why
Can they not respect
Each other
Why
Do they divide, hate, and
Kill one another

Why I cannot answer
Perhaps some will do
What I could not perceive
Yet found to be true

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

Come fly with me
I promise your return
When you see your
From up high above
This place
Your home

Then perhaps, but again
Perhaps not
You will see no boundary
No divide from
Them

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
