"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 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…………"
