Greetings my friend, from places unknown.

I feel an obligation within, to show you my home.

This world is unpredictable, a fact I’m sure you’ll see.

But first let’s exchange names perhaps;…can I call you E.T.?

Unsure of the time we have, I won’t waste what time we do.

So I’ll skip the whole beginning, and hone into just the truth!

As I said in the beginning, unpredictable is this world.

As well as its inhabitants, a great mystery, one big swirl!

On any given day, a sinner can become a savior;

While simultaneously across the world, a preacher can show contradictory behavior!

So I’ll leave you with this lesson, as the two of us phone home.

On Earth take things with a pinch of salt, the rest is all unknown!
