Ken Duddle Poet Free verse

Roswell -July 8th 1947

The inhabitants of Quintar V
Were in many ways like Man
They evolved from legless blobs
And from the unkind sea
Ventured onto land.

Their technology advanced
In only a few thousand years.
Hyperspace was soon available.
So the greater minds left to search the stars.

For many light years they travelled.
Through universes and galaxies galore
Generations grew up on their ships
The young were taught space ship skills
And prepared in peace to greet new life.

Eventually they came upon Earth.
And at Roswell began their descent.
But despite all the knowledge gained.
The spaceship into the ground crashed.

The brainiest creatures in all the Milky Ways
Did not know how to land.

Came from a comment on a messageboard. They said these aliens were supposed to be superior travelled across the universe then crashed. I never thought of that before.
