ALONE?

ALONE?

I look up at the stars at nightĀ 
And get to thinking
While stars a twinklingĀ 
About the possibilityĀ 
Of other lifeĀ 

Why not?Ā 
Weā€™re hereĀ 
A planet filled with lifeĀ 
Floating in the dark abyss,
A vast open spaceĀ 
That seems to stretchĀ 
For an eternity and beyondĀ 

Beyond
That word aloneĀ 
Suggests distanceĀ 
Maybe there are other planetsĀ 
With existenceĀ 
Who knows they may be already hereĀ 
Living among us
We just canā€™t see them Ā 
Scared to show their true formĀ 
Scared that we wouldnā€™t Ā accept their oddĀ 
AppearanceĀ 
but wouldnā€™t we be odd to them too?

I meanĀ 
We call them aliensĀ 
But those aliensĀ 
Would see us as the sameĀ 
Wouldnā€™t we be brandedĀ 
With the same name?
I think thatā€™s a fair assumptionĀ 
Not a presumptionĀ 

TechnologyĀ 
Weā€™re do we get it?
Are our governments tradingĀ 
With other life formsĀ 
From far off worlds?
Somethingā€™s amissĀ 
Our aircraft get more futuristicĀ 
Year after yearĀ 
Taking on the formĀ 
Of Ā supposed ufo sightingsĀ 
Or is this a myth?

Are we lied too?Ā 
The government doesnā€™t tell us everythingĀ 
Thatā€™s the reason for area 51Ā 
What goes on at that place ?
This top secret facilityĀ 
That has a shoot on site policyĀ 
That swears itā€™s employees to secrecyĀ 
And are gagged till the day they dieĀ 
or if they speak out theyā€™re lookingĀ 
over their shoulderĀ 
afraid Ā for their livesĀ 
somethingā€™s not right

what do you think?
Are we alone?Ā 
Does ET phone home?Ā 
Or is the galaxy our ownĀ 
Or maybe just maybeĀ 
They already call earth their homeĀ 
Ā

Hello Jeff...

I often thought the same thing...

There areĀ UFO watch towers...

There's a highway with two names...

One is UFO Highway...

We would be strange to them for sure...

They would certainly hold much intelligence...

As far as the secrets...

If there's two books...

One that holdsĀ secrets and one that holds truths...

Which one would be thicker?

Great write!Ā 

Thank you for sharing...

Hugs...

Hi sparrow song,Ā 

Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  thanks for reading, i have wondered for years about the possibility of other life. i myself have encountered a strange flying object. i could see it clear as day a triangular shaped object landed on a golf course about a quarter of a mile from where i lived at the time. i jumped in the car and raced to the golf course but just as i turned the corner to the entrance their was a loud hum and it shot straight up in the air. freaked me out it lol i was 20 at the time but i will never forget it, my own little close encounter. on a side not i noticed you read cloth trimmed box their are two other parts to that poem would be grateful for the feedback,Ā 

cheers jeff

Hey JEFF!!......I Love that you posted this very searching piece!!......I write a blog on Metaphysics, so for me it's always cool to see someone thinking outside the box!!..... In all of my research and visits to the power places on this planet...... like the pyramids, Stonehenge, and some of the ruins from ancient civilizations around the globe (and really MUCH more) there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that there is alien life...... for SO MANY reasons to even go into here...... But I DID just want to say what a wonderfully well crafted poetic titillation for those "on the fence" you have presented here...... there is so much proof from ancient cave drawings to inexplicable monuments and structures that humans are still incapable of reproducing that for me......I feel fortunate to have run across your write...... just another affirmation in my mind that there are so many true seekers out there...... the mind is evolving MUCH faster than technology...... and your poem was a pleasure brother poet.......ALL STARS....... hugs-n-high fives!!......T xo

HI Tony,

Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā thanks for reading. i believe that we are here so why do some people think that it absurd to think that another planet out there in the vast of space can hold life. one day we will have the technology to leave our solar system then the true findings will begin.Ā 

cheers jeffĀ

Hi Jeff,

I totally agree with you on this subject. It stands to reason that there is life on other worlds otherwise how come we are here? For all we know we could be the aliens in one big experiment! In the vastness of space there must be other forms of life, I think it`s simply arrogant of our leaders to say that we are the only inhabited planet. I really get annoyed when our governments try to hide this important information from us and treat us all like idiots, it`s all about power and gain with them and superior weapons technology. Technology has advanced so much since the 40`s and it`s wrong that the governments of the world are keeping all that information from us. It`s all to do with defense secrets. The N.S.A, C.I.A and our own secret services are hiding a lot from us and it`s all wrong and it will cause many deaths one day, just like in the film Independence Day, because the ordinary folk won`t be prepared for anything when it does all go wrong. There are so many people who have experienced multiple abductions and have physical proof or like you, have experienced sightings that the governments are just making themselves look stupid when they keep denying these events and sightings and saying they are not real. Even an American aircraft carrier during the war had alien ships fly over them and they disappeared into the ocean, they prbably have a base down there for all we know! One sailor in an investigation program said `It buzzed them` and all their electronic equipment stopped working, they were all sworn to secrecy, and there were several thousand sailors made to sign a secret document and their lives depended on not saying anything. That particular witness in the program I watched only agreed to go on record because he was dying of cancer and didn`t give a damn about the official secrets form he had to sign. There are many stories about this subject. Well done for this piece it was really interesting to read.

God bless and happy hunting!!

Fearful, afraid
Trees sway, brace,

Blood drips from salt encrusted rock
Body bloated, two feet one sock

Peaks of emerald green
Visions so serene
