Our World

Sometimes the world can be a mysterious place

So many different planets orbiting around in Space

Are we really alone I often wonder as I gaze

Into the sky trying to avoid the sun’s rays

On the surface at least the moon has no water so they say

But what’s going on underneath may be different, we may find out another day

Saturn with its coloured rings is a mystery to me

Venus and the rest maybe one day we will see

If there really is life out there and we are not alone

It makes the future interesting hopefully we can atone

For not being believers right from the off

Those with the knowledge just seem to scoff

There cannot be life out there in space

We are told time and again

But there are mysterious occurrences that are hard to explain

Bright lights in the sky strange noises heard from afar

Picked up by Amateur Astrologers who find them rather bizarre

The Sun has been shining daily for millions of years

Followed by the Moon at night just to allay our fears

Of what just makes this Universe of ours really exist

With so many Planets in our Solar system it’s hard to insist

That we are alone in this vast collection of space

And that it’s impossible for life to be out there staring in our face

But why is it we deem it unlikely, it’s hard to believe

When in truth it’s ridiculous not to perceive

That there may well be more life forms, we may meet some one day

But probably not before I am well old and grey

The believers will keep trying and try as they may

Maybe it is impossible to prove one way or the other anyway.
