Evolved
Denise Silk-Martelli
What of the future?
Of tomorrow?
Contact with aliens?
Probably.
Little green men?
I doubt it.
Perhaps a more evolved community
Perhaps a more evolved consciousness
That doesn’t pollute its environment
Rage war against its own
And who, tomorrow,
May get in touch
To teach us a thing or two
About life
Or death.
