poem of the day August 6

I keep wondering

what happens

when we make contact

Will we be eaten as 

some exquisite meat

Flash frozen

then sent back in

freezer lockers

to some distant planet

where we will be

fancy expensive delicacies 

for an alien race?

Will we be welcomed  

then collected as cute primitive 

strangers devoid of true intelligence

to be kept as exotic pets?

Will we join another universe 

as equal partners to form

an intergalactical  brotherhood?

Or will  the alien extraterrestrials 

find us incompatible with god

and come and go without 

even acknowledging our very existence?
