Must Meet All Challenges

Would life found on some distant rock change your

View on the type of a ‘higher power'?

Would aliens change your views about more

Than just where ideas tend to flower?

The true search for life outside of this orb

Proves to be of chief concern for science.

It is much too hard for some to absorb

When the unknown is but their reliance.

New life, intelligent or not, would be

The discovery that would define States.

For the individuals who will see

The life forms, their work would honor the greats.

Every skeptic in the world just knows that

Even smart folks called the planet Earth flat.
