*misunderstandings

He sent her a love letter

In an alien Language encrypted

All the flowery words 

Exhibiting his deepest love 

 

She was from Mars

An alien to an alien Language

Read the letter a thousand times 

Thinking he will come home 

 

Thousand years later 

She kept receiving letters 

Technological breakthrough 

Made delivery easy, but understanding still zero 

 

Ten thousand years later 

He was too old to write a word 

But life on mars was sparse 

The letters delivered beeping without reading 

 

Why have we humans made things difficult 

What could be written in an easy understandable Term 

We have complicated things by pushing them between ribbons 

A gift that's delivered in present, but not so pleasant
