This isn't even a question, it's an opinion. The closest answer to the truth is that lyrical Intelligence varies from band to band, across both genres. Some Heavy Metal bands make strong political statements in their songs, and can write very poetic and image-conjuring lyrics.
The same can be said about certain Punk rock bands as well, often leaning much further towards Politcally-charged lyrics, though nowadays modern Hardcore Punk (the predominant genre of the 21st century considered "True" punk), can use a mixture of both, but intelligence can range from Thug, street-gang intellect to artistic-poetic intelligence.
Heavy Metal I would personally say is the more intelligent genre, simply because the lyrics often cover a much wider range of topics, while still being able to cover the topics Punk rock does as well. The musicianship of Heavy Metal artists is usually more talented and trained than that of Punk Rock artists, but that is Subgenre specific (Sludge Metal being a relatively untalented Metal Genre, vs. Technical Death Metal---the name speaks for itself)

What is the difference between punk and metal?
Most people can tell the difference but I would suggest (as a very broad generalisation) punk tends to be faster and the lyrics more political whereas metal tends to be heavier and slower with more solos but like I say, some punk bands combine metal styles and some metal bands use punk drum beats/lyrical styling etc

How can you tell the difference between rock music and alternative music?
Alternative rock is a kind of rock music, so, there is no difference. There's no such thing as just plain, "rock music," rather, there are dozens of different sub-genres: early rock, folk rock, psychedelic rock, classic rock, punk rock, glam rock, heavy metal, grunge, alternative, etc. And many of the sub-genres have their own sub-genres, like, thrash metal, black metal, progressive metal, Viking metal, speed metal are sub-genres of heavy metal, and proto-punk, post-punk, punk pop, hardcore punk, British punk, New York punk are all sub-genres of punk music. All of these sub-genres and sub-sub-genres can be called "rock music." Like, you can say that Nirvana is a rock band, or, you can be more specific and say they are a grunge band. You can say that Black Sabbath is a rock band, or, you can be more specific and say they are a heavy metal band. Or, you can say the Ramones are a rock band, or, you can be more specific, and say they are a punk rock band. It's sort of like, there's green M&Ms, red M&Ms, blue, orange, yellow, and brown M&Ms, but there are no "plain" M&Ms. See the Related Link below for the Wikipedia entry on alternative rock.

What is the difference between alternative metal and thrash metal?
"Alternative Metal" is a name used to lump together several categories of what I simply refer to as false Metal. Their sound is derived from watered-down forms of Punk and Hardcore, and it basically serves as an extension of the late 90s nu-"metal", itself which was basically an extension of the early 90s Alternative Rock/Grunge scene. Thrash Metal is a blend of Heavy Metal and Hardcore Punk - many fans refuse to admit this, but D-Beat Hardcore played just as much a role in the formation of Thrash as Heavy Metal did. However, what separated Thrash from the early Metalcore bands (now commonly called Crossover in order to differentiate it from the so-called Metalcore of present day) was that Thrash tended to be a bit more seamless, whereas the Metalcore/crossover bands would have segments which were clearly Metal, and segments which were clearly Hardcore Punk.
