Parallel Worlds

Deep in Stella space and time

Dwells a planet like yours and mine

A carbon copy of everything we see

With a moon and a sun that seeds

A mirror image since time begun

They have a world that’s lush and green

With all known beasts we’ve ever seen

They’ve progressed far in this other place

With intelligence far beyond the human race

There is no religion in this far in space

For nature taught them long ago

There is no being or unseen force

We humans call All Mighty God

They live as one, without human greed

Unlike Earth’s poor nations who beg and plead

For food and shelter for those in need

They banished wars and violence long ago

Devoting their life to food to eat and sow

They live in harmony with the other beasts

They rule their planet with love and peace

Their peoples have travelled near and far

Observing others to see how they are

They cried out loud as they left planet Earth

Witnessing the death of this green little place

And their brothers and sisters in a parallel space
