Earthling (Poem)

If a man from Mars
Fell from the stars
We’d call him a Martian
By any other name
But if you or I took a trip in the sky
To a far off place
In outer space and
Met a Martian face to face
And it knew nothing of our
Labels of color, creed or race
And if that Martian asked

“Who am I?”
I could not lie
I’d look that Martian
Directly in it’s Martian eyes
and tell it one thing

I come in peace
I’m an Earthling.
One World - One People
We’re all in this together.
