We Are

Apparently there are members of our vast society
That think we have descended from the great ape

I say to them to stand upon a high hill 
Look downward at human creation

We are not of this planet or this system
We are not earthlings, but different

The smallest child can see this
Religion says we are from God

We are visitors here
Possessed by 
An eternal
Soul
