Upon leaving the cinema I sat in my car and had a quiet smoke
Some other movie-goers came to the car beside mine
And began to chat about Prometheus
One guy was quite beside himself
Saying “where were the aliens!”
Or did he say “where were the Aliens!”
I was trying to memorize the new things I had noticed
From my second viewing of the film
But his remark suddenly stunned me
The only Alien he saw was the Deacon at the end
He did not see the Engineers (very old, old, recent) as aliens
Why on earth not – because they are similar to us?
Perhaps the previous Alien films created an Alien image
In humans susceptible to take on board simple archetypes
So much so that the imagination of those humans has been closed down
Ask an Engineer if we are aliens
If they helped create us – surely we are!
Maybe if we helped create the Engineers (DNA?)
Surely they are aliens
It seems the mind set of some humans see aliens as Aliens
This is surely a very childish (possibly worse) way of thinking
God help us all
