Aliens
So I've given it much thought
And I've come to believe
That aliens exist!
They're real indeed
So aliens are people
Who are different from us
That live out in space
Well what's all the fuss?
They steal us and take us
Abduct us away
They test us and train us
Well that's what you say
But if you'd just stop thinking
In and out of some "box"
And just look around
And think with actual thoughts
I'm sure you'd see
That we're not alone
But to think such crazy things
Is nothing but wrong
In truth there's no telling
How many worlds there are
How many God made
Who says He hasn't done this before?
So you can have your theories
And take mine too
Tell the world
What I think of you
That I think you're strange
And demented it seems
But don't forget
That I'm a believer
Just not in what you believe
I'm sorry but I just don't think
That any creature could be
So strange, tiny and green
I think what you saw
Were demons or angels
Or people just like us
That have been around longer
And evolved even further
Then our clocks could ever tell
But even so
I'm not so closed minded
To just swat your idea away
So I guess we won't know
The answer till we go
To heaven or hell
Or say even some high-tech lab in the sky
But until that day when our ideas are put to the test
For now let's just stay
You
And I
And let God or whoever we pray to
Do all the rest

I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings

This one is a very good poem, it is funny in a dry sort of way, but brings a smile to the face.
