Satellites

The planets in our system
We have grown to call our own
Circling in their Orbit
Satellites near our home
Typical of us to assume
That they belong to you and i
But us Humans tend to grab, everything we spy
 
We have even divided the moon
How do we know its for us to say
There was no Lunar agenda
That i remember to this day
We just made the rules
And divided our Satellite
Just trying to figure it out
Who actually thought, that was right
 
Maybe our Earths a Stat
To become a Satellite
Are there more intelligent beings
Who may share with us that's right
Until we get that greeting
We are a sleeping Satellite

Who knows what is out there in the giant awesome universal that is constantly expanding from three simple words that was said who knows when. And God said in the book of Gensis made it all. Have a happy and restful Sunday. Sara

I believe they are so intelligent, they won't bother talking to us untill we become more civil. We are the only species on earth that kills for pleasure, judges by color, and separates by class. What intelligent beings would want to associate with that kind of species. Thank God for the poets and the dreamers. Vince

James, That is an interesting poem. There are more intelligent beings out there watching us!!! The Ones who made us, our universe, and all that is in it. AKA- God. Oh you knew that! I'm just being a little silly again. I like the poem. Lovingly, Dane

Surely there are other intelligent beings wondering the same thing, unless they already know we exist. We do seem to take ownership of our solar system, but there are many others in the universe. Love the way you divide the moon only to question the "Lunar agenda." Brilliant writing, James! It sets me into orbit. Love, Carolyn
