10,000 Light Years Away

10,000 LIGHT YEARS AWAY

I was not born on earth but on planet that is 10,000
	light years away from here.
I was sent here to watch and observe, to evaluate
	how far you have progressed mankind.
It has a long hard journey and watching the hurt,
	pain and contempt that promotes fear
Presents a poor outlook for this species and my 
	belief that this world will end and mankind
WILL DESTROY ITSELF FROM WITHIN.

I have had enough, I want to go home but it seems
	that for some reason my kind has forgotten
	where I am and have not come back.
I do not want to be here for this planets end, there
	is so much peace and love on the planet of
	my birth.
One last thought, maybe the end can bring a new 
	beginning for all and life can get back on
	track.
Does world wide destruction have to be the catalyst
for mankind to follow through with the values
that came with our birth 
Before we learned how to hate ourselves and each
Other.
