Poetic-Verses
'' Their Inhabitants Could Smother ''
As across the sky at night we scan,
There are literally billions of stars,
Planets orbiting them since time began,
Their surfaces covered in scars.
Do they sustain life will we ever know?
Why do we even ask?
Why would we even want to go?
Saving this planet should be our task.
Why spend billions looking for life,
When we have it in abundance here,
If we found it would they cause us strife?
Could they have us living in fear?
We don't like others invading us,
They could well be the same,
Why would we want to cause a fuss?
If they attacked would we be to blame.
Could it be we are being watched?
By some superior being,
Who revels in everything we've botched,
Perhaps they are all seeing.
We were given a planet on which to live,
How we treat it leaves a terrible taste,
Mother Nature will not easily forgive,
As her gifts we continue to waste.
Our miracle of life may not be unique,
But it's for our own we should show concern,
We have more than enough troubles here to seek,
From our mistakes we do need to learn.
The planet we live on is a beautiful place,
But we need to become more aware,
Her demise is being caused by the human race,
It won't be cured by anything out there.
Observe those planets but don't try to touch,
They could well belong to another,
Reaching for the stars is a journey too much,
Our ambitions,
