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!

This is beautifully said Alaine. I am sure aliens have been watching us for a long time, they know all about us. But then again, who knows, your advice is veyy warranted. Lovely poem.
This evokes a reassuring type of comfort within the very human experience of collective confusion; I like the friendly tone here a lot, especially when both you and the "alien" are phoning home. It's all shared, I guess. Really delightful poem. Makes me feel connected, instead of terrified, when it comes to extraterrestrials :)
Fabulous entry
