Space is a Jungle

Author: Marvin The Martian

A jungle can be massively big and so deep
And possibly full of creatures that we'll never see
Likewise trillions of ants claim the biomass throne
Over two hundred species on any one tree alone
A fascinating insect by engineer and design
If it had intellect its brain may be as brilliant as mine
The chances of ants in a jungle to see us are very slim
Unless we explore nature and go looking them
Although most of us in the real world don't really care
We have Discovery Channels and we know that they are there
But we just live our lives and let nature take its coarse
An insects life can be really boring when you compare it to yours
But turn the tables around and lets talk about earth
In the middle of this jungle we call a vast universe
How arrogant of a species to think we're all alone
When we have identified other planets that we could call home
So something light years away is a species far more advanced
And to them our world is just a tree of different kinds of ants
Nothing for them to bother with, we have nothing they want
But like National Geographic from a distance they watch
Or maybe they are just waiting for us to mature as a race
A primitive planet in the jungles of outer space

About this poem:

The alien jungle hypothesis basically says in a nut shell humans are like ants and 99.9% have never seen a human because the jungle is so big and likewise we humans are like ants and will never encounter an alien until it encounters us, but in the mean time why bother, let nature take its coarse . there are eight more theories and possibly eight more poems . Whats your theory? I'm a nerd what can I say. Cheers

good write Jesse man is probably less intelligent than ants who are most likely the most intelligent life form on the planet
in some fields of thought if they were bigger they would rule earth not man ty for sharing

man has deff. become argont of his place on this earth. all creaturs have intlect equial to ours,they just show it acording to there grand design. you can teach a goose to come when asked but can a goose teach man to come when needed.

Thank you Shadow, I do agree , they are a social insect and brilliant engineers, I do believe they could rule and until they evolve into that super species we pay them no mind just as the jungle theory says about extra terrestrials and how they view us. Thank you for stopping by, always a pleasure...Jesse

I like that theory Cameal6. Thank you for stopping by and reading...Jesse

I love ants!! They symbolize industriousness and perseverence to me. *(If you look on my profile, you'll see I have an ant tattoo on my leg.)

I love "nerds" even more so! People who think outside the box and beyond.

This is ingenius, Jesse. Most people think infinity outward. But infinity must go inward as well. Consider quarks, electrons, neutrinos, a Plank length.

As we know, "The universe is probabilistic and indeterminate."

Yes, I'm a nerd, too. And this is just a brilliant write, Jesse! Excuse me now, I'm going to read this a few more times and get lost in lovely space. Thanks for the trip, my friend!

Oooh, I love Cameal's response. "Can a goose teach a man to come when needed?" Excellent analogy!

Nerds of the world unite! A fascinating write Jesse, you had my attention from line one all the way through.

Well penned buddy...

I have often pondered about aliens. How could they travel so far to get here? You think about how important your car is. You dare not break down in space. Do they have such things, space mechanics? Look like you need to replace this starship, it's got over 100,000 light years on it.

Thank you Jyonnah, I agree they are the blue collars of nature aren't they and warriors. I would hate to be on their menu. Thank you for stopping by, Im going to go check out your tattoo...Jesse

Hi Bill, thank you for your kind comment. I brought my pocket protector and my calculator I hope you got yours at the next nerds convention

Thank you kindly sir...Jesse

Thank you DH always curious of what you may throw . Good tune that was...Jesse

Mr Mcadloff, I often as far as I can remember the first time seeing stars about aliens. I mean think about it all this universe and we're alone ? I dont think so, so many galaxies with solar systems like ours and even planets describe with water, supposedly the key element to sustain life, If you think about it even a single celled organism found on another planet is alien. And I think with the use of wormholes cuts down on wear and tear from lightyear travel and organ metal space crafts probably heal themselves.

We have the technology to create organic self healing automotive paint, I know this because thats what I do. You scratch it and it mends itself believe it or not just too expensive to manufacture . maybe borrowed technology who know

Thanks for stopping by, I always appreciate your comments...Jesse
