No Intelligent Life
by David Pekrul "There's no intelligent life down here!" the little Martian said, While studying the ways of Human life, "For Brother fights with Brother over things that neither want, And people's lives are filled with pain and strife." "Though some are blessed with many things, they seldom give their share, While others spend their days in poverty, And some are so addicted by their drugs and alcohol, Yet all the time they're thinking they are free." "There's no intelligent life down here, at least that's what I thought, Until I saw a creature, very small, It seemed the weakest of the weak, and couldn't move about, It couldn't not walk, though sometimes it would crawl." "It looked like other Human life, but on the smaller side, It trusted others for its wants and needs, But it was pure and innocent, untouched by things around, And didn't share in other Human deeds." "I found intelligent life down here", the Martian did exclaim, "It's found in something that is called a "child", A thing that causes all to smile, forgetting all their woes, A little child, meek and very mild." "If only all of Human life could learn from this small child, The world they make would be a better place, And everyone could live in peace, forever free of war, And live a life where they are feeling safe." "I found intelligent life down here..........." www.myhiddenvoice.com The poetry of David Ronald Bruce Pekrul If this article is used in any publication, please send a copy of the publication to David Pekrul at 170 Carr Cres.
