Science Fiction - First Evidence Poem by Paul Warren

The asteroid came from the depths of space
Never seen before so we didn't know it's place
It was a slow mover so the scientists knew
They could land a satellite on the surface as it flew

Past the earth on its way to the other side of the system
So they worked hard and put it up to the orbit then
Its rendezvous with the asteroid was on course
And it landed on the sunny side with just enough force

It took samples of the rock in its analysing mission
Waiting for the close up surface pictures in the transmission
But what they saw made them all gasp in wonderment
When buildings were seen in the picture as they were sent

Although there had been some catastrophe to the settlement
It was clear that intelligent people had built it all as it was meant
To shelter them from the outside space and theories were abound
Maybe the aliens used it as a spaceship to explore space around.
