We Are Not Alone

If only we could view our selves from a star,

We would see how tiny and insignificant we are

And yet we are here, so priceless and pure

We search for more life but what’s the allure

To be on our own makes most feel afraid

So we look to the heavens with a celestial aid

If we could connect with this planet, our earthly home

Then we would realize that we were never alone

If we could see that here, we have all that we need

We would free the world from hunger and greed

I would not suggest life couldn’t flourish out there

It’s not for me to say but I’m certain it’s rare

So the next time you find yourself gazing up into space

Remember that life exists within the whole human race
