On the Outer Edges of Space

Some say there are aliens living on the frontiers of space Who've traveled beyond the boundaries of the known universe Gotten very near the gates of heaven, spoken face to face With God in their extraordinary tongue, engaged in commerce Potentially, of course, since we've not met either of the two Taking extreme care associating for better or worse With these alien beings from afar, lest they run us through. But we have lots of dealings with God, who created it all, Swearing by all that's holy we give the Almighty his due Still, somewhere from the reaches of our minds we often recall The possibility these strange aliens we talk about Are queuing up on the right side, are standing near heaven's hall If that is the case, perhaps, we are flirting with harmful doubt We should expend more effort getting to know those with the clout.
