Sense Sonnet - Acher

 Future Potential

To a solar system we came,

Unvisited by us before.

Searching for life form was the aim.

One planet looked good to explore.

We landed our ship upon

Some water in protected bay.

Found lots of primitive life on

Land, in air and in water way.

No life form of intelligence

Had yet evolved so we chose to

Leave until future evidence

Made a return worthy to do.

Return visit not deemed of worth.

Humans evolved and ruined Earth.
