Are there aliens among us?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will they blend in, and not shun us.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are they here to help us advance?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are they willing to give us a chance?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or, is this all a wild pipe dream.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Something to distract you from the theme.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The theme of evil VS good.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prevent us thinking of this like we should.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The great controversy races on.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this game, we are only pones.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet, we can choose our fate, it seems.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It seems there is no in between.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You are saved or you are lost.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whatever you choose is at great cost.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This time of year, the birth of Christ<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

is often mentioned in Christmas lights.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is it all for Christmas fun?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or, are they actually talking about someone?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

They say He will return as a thief in the night.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If it happened on Christmas day, would He find you\nright?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or, would you be too busy ripping open gifts<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

to accept the One who gives the real gift?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The gift of eternal life for those who accept.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

May you not be among those who are left.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
