Non-Human Life-Forms Poem by Margaret Alice

Non-Human Life-Forms

Rating: 5.0


The
Universe
is abundantly full
of intelligence – but
we do not respect any
that we do not understand
fully – people thinking differently
seem dumb to us – imagine then
non-human life-forms with a
strange kind of appearance
we could never revere
that which did not
meet our criteria
at all...

Very well observed, this tragedy of human perception! Your poem calls upon us to try and overcome this human shortcoming.

Wisdom penned with clarity and brevity. You're right, a lack of understanding is the source of most conflict. Thanks for this. love, Allie xxxx

I agree it's strange that we do not have respect for something just because you don't understand it, even worse if you don't even make the effort to understand, excellent Poem! Short but Powerfull
