Notes About The Poem
'The Visitor from Outer Space' is a concise story that, in its brevity, holds meaning. This story gives people something to reflect upon. What would we do if we were visited by extraterrestrials?
The Visitor from Outerspace
The Visitor from Outerspace came down from the Cosmos.
He'd been traveling in a glittery saucer.
Decided to drop in on Earth to take a look.
Wondered if he could learn something new
Or give some help to humanity.
He represented a highly technological community!
His fellow space-beings had good tips for humankind.
On technology and all sorts of life-saving medicines.
So he secretly visited humans in a simple pair of jeans and a tshirt.
Just tryin' to look like a regular guy,
One of those Earthings who aims to fly high.
Everything went well, and people liked him.
But someone noticed his spaceship.
It looked like a UFO, so people were fearful.
They plotted to study the creatures within.
People saw opportunities to make money,
Producing expensive pharmaceuticals,
Taking the Spaceman's land, colonizing it
Putting him on exhibition.
But this Spaceman or Visitor from the Cosmos, whatever he was
Had only wanted to help Earthlings.
He wanted to teach them something new.
About technology and helping one another.
Living in planetary peace and saving the galaxy.
Too bad Earthlings focused on making money.
This Cosmic Being realized war was widespread.
He realized that Earthlings might not be so friendly.
They'd probably want to colonize his planet.
After hearing the news on TV, he realized he had to leave.
Before humansput him under the microscope.
Thus, he made a run for it.
Taking off as fast as he could!
His UFO shined brightly.
The door opening.
And the Extraterrestrial
Beamed up onto the spaceship.
Then he flew far, far away into the vast Cosmos!
I still wonder if extraterrestrials are out there
And if they would like to collaborate with Earthlings.
