Notes About The Poem

Ancient Aliens

Ancient Aliens


If humans from great apes evolved
   we would not look like this today,
      for not enough time was involved
to have developed us this way.

Did ancient aliens land here...
   the 'missing link' that refined man?
      To do their job then disappear...
watch from afar their master plan?

The pyramids, the Nazca lines,
   and Easter Island's massive stones;
      huge upright slabs with sun align...
like Stonehenge...otherworldly zones.

Did aliens, through D N A,
   alter our genes, advance our stage,
      to shape, refine, and day by day,
remake us on timeline's new page?

So many drawings inside caves
   depict great images that show
      what looks like airships over waves
and rays around them all aglow.

Such skillful engineering feats
   brought forth beyond a normal phase;
      with some, we still cannot compete.
For sure, Great Pyramid dismays.
 
So many gods were worshipped too
   with faces strange to human sight.
      Were they of aliens in view
carved to respect their super might?

The bible's chariots of flame,
   that burning bright came from the sky
      perhaps were spaceships to acclaim
their visitations from up high?

We can't dismiss those U F Os
   reported endlessly for years.
      Have aliens been staying close
as watchful guardians of fears?

Of fears that their investment fails:
   that we destruct our earthly home;
      that we unbalance all the scales
and leave this planet all alone?

Yes, ancient aliens came here...
   the 'missing link' that refined man;
      to do their job, then disappear.
They watch from far their master plan.

But still for sure...our God above...
    Prime Mover of this Universe
       and all that lies beyond...with love,
from 'The Beginning' was immersed.
