Tiny, widdle Aliens in the red, red rain!
Just what you are, Scientists can’t explain!
You go a pitta-patting to the pretty, placid ground,
The weirdest little Creatures for a billion miles around!
Did Jesus make you up in cold, cold Space,
Ten million miles above us in a wild and secret place?
Did you reach our planet on a meteor's rocky side?
A riding rocks is poky but a jazzy way to ride
I’m glad the Cosmos has you!
Such a kooky thing to be!
That our questions aren’t all answered
And our thoughts can frolic free!
You might have tortured Pharaoh several thousand years ago,
When concepts of Human freedoms were not true and were not so.
ET’s and Freedom Seekers might have fought a common foe.
When a crazy Shepherd had a dream to “Let my People go!!!”
Cause a billion wittle Aliens fell and bloodied
Egypt’s ancient seas.
I stand before the Cosmos free to think and live
And worship as I please!

The back story about this poem is, a very rigorous science web site had an article about some strange, single-celled, red Life that fell from the sky in India. It was not the usual Red Tide Algae. It was something not ever noticed before and some Scientists were speculating that it might actually be from Space! I wondered if I could use as an opportunity to witness. Of course I knew a simple comment would never pass their censors. They don't allow every comment to be published. But I knew poetry had a chance (which may be why the first chapter of Genesis is poetry.) So I wrote this poem. They used it!
