Letter To Earth
Dear Inhabitants
We visited you from distant stars
Only thirty - three light years beyond
We were sent to explore your nature
To see if we'd all get along
Your planet sure was beautiful
Green grass and crystal blue seas
There were beasts and birds of color
And some that roamed so free
But much to our amazement
What took us by such surprise
Is the hate for your own species
We witnessed in your eyes
We watched you kill each other
And what we thought quite odd
You would try to justify your acts
All in the name of your God
We watched you end your newborns lives
On a whim without a care
And we were shocked by all the blatant greed
And your lack of will to share
So we came to a decision
Mostly because of our own fears
Of what you would do to strangers
So we're getting the hell outta here.
