Jack Ellison Poet Free verse

Utterly Utterly Preposterous

Aliens DO exist and they are observing us guys
The way we interact with each other
What advice do you think they would give us
Would they throw up their hands in disgust
And say, “it's no use... people of earth, you just don't get it!”
Or would they see hope for us and offer to help
Perhaps they've gone through similar “growing pains”
Wherever they come from
And wish to share their experiences with us
At my advanced age, I hope I live long enough to see that day
To suggest that we are alone in the universe
Is absolutely absurd and beyond my comprehension
There are billions upon billions of other galaxies
With billions upon billions of other worlds like ours
To assume otherwise
Is UTTERLY, UTTERLY, PREPOSTEROUS!

Tom Cunningham March 2, 2023 at 10:07 AM Surely we can't be the only ones in this vast universe, can't imagine them wanting to come here though with all the greed, wars and stuff. Tom Jack Ellison March 2, 2023 at 11:31 AM Just look at the vast number of heavenly bodies! How can anyone imagine that we are alone!!! Nonsensical! Have a great day Tom!!!

Daniel Turner March 2, 2023 at 6:04 AM Jack, if you know anything about the US, You know that if there was civilization on another planet, we would be sending them foreign aid. LOL I suppose it's all a matter of what one's religious beliefs are. Most likely we will never know. A very thought provoking subject. You have made your case well:) Jack Ellison March 2, 2023 at 6:22 AM I guess I've made my feelings pretty clear eh! LOL Out of the quittian of heavenly bodies!!! No we will never know with any certainty! We all have our beliefs... I have only ONE!!!
