Strangly Odd 3

Many years have now past
an old grand father talks
as with grand kids he walks
the seeds he with them has cast

His view is that with us they abide
gradual have been the changes
as with us they mingle over the ages
intermarriage has spread out wide

Now there are no earthlings or aliens
just an inter galaxy race
who do things to their own pace
all now become Freudians

This is how he explains the unexplainable
he cautions them to take care
unless their lives are left bare
as along the path we all stumble

I leave you now on things to ponder
ask yourself are we alone?
do we with each other have to atone
can we meet each other with candor?
 
Or will we always fear and treat with suspicion 
that which is not quite normal?
checking out each other's aural 
can we ever join together in fission?

I love the unusual theme of this poem, and the questions it poses. Makes one ponder, we never know what the future may discover.... I think some folks are more in sync with the truth than others....perhaps your grandfather was one! PS......thank you so much for my placement in the recent "Norse" contest.....I'm glad you liked my entry!! Thanks again!

a sci-fi kind of poem!! You are a wise lady, Shadow, and there is wisdom in what you have the grandfather teaching the kids. Also very interesting what you told me about those birds thumping the ground. they are SMART birds!!

Great one my friend. Fine questions to ponder. Questions that themselves point towards a goal and answer. Walk an honest path, turn aside greed and wrath. Be gentle in your thoughts and deeds, heal the hurts stop the bleeds.. So nice to read this inspirational write this morn!! Thanks .
