An acrostic poem about an alien birthday gift. BELIEF IN SOMETHING GREATER THAN OURSELVES B irthday present arrives E arly one morning L ight had just dawned over I ndianapolis, Indiana E veryone thought it was a F ire in the sky I nto the atmosphere the ship came N earing the earth until it stopped S ome gathered close by O thers kept their distance M ystery and anxiety were high E xtraterrestrials were actually here T hey weren't green or gray as some would suppose H ot pink, actually, like a brand new highlighter I nto our world they brought a gift for our people N othing so plain as a card or a basket, but rather technology to G uide our path toward reaching for the stars G overnment officials immediately saw the potential R aced to protect it with secrets and security E arthlings are silly, the aliens said with confusion A liens all share with each other, why are you different? T echnology should be used by humans one and all E veryone working toward a similar goal, to R each beyond our own solar system T here were so many worlds to see and explore H undreds of species to meet and share with A n opportunity for humanity to join with the others N o longer restricted by technological restraints O pportunity they gave us U nderstanding is what we needed R evolutionary technological advancements S eemed to be their gift, but with E very human now looking to the stars L ives changed, inspiration struck V ibrancy returned to our dreams, and E .T.'s gift became more than just technology. It was belief, in S omething greater than ourselves (37 lines) |
