Poem
Another day we awake, in this desolate world Years of debris in continuing swirl In the town where i stay, we have rallied and done We have underground points, where we frequently run We always discussed, the times they came back And wondered the reason why they never attacked We marvelled at their technology, as they gathered together And marched us in trances, never having to tether What would they want, with billions of people like us Our discussion gets angry as we enter into cuss Were we to be slaves, or even worse than that Out there and beyond, we have become just a stat Then one winters day we awoke to heavy rain For we knew from the deluge, they had come back again This time was different as we watched as they land Something so simple, for years we had planned The amount of shuttles was never like before In sporadic landings, as they opened their doors We ventured forward in trance like walks Showing no emotion, only our eyes talked As we get to the doors, into the shuttles we fire Shooting at random as our fears aspire Their doors start to close, but before they depart We hope for victory, and show them humans are smart In their exodus as they head back to the light On board they carry, many an exploding device For before their doors closed, inside we threw Man made killers, from our murderous menu We look on in hope as they reach the light As they disappear through the clouds and out of sight Minutes pass as we witness our goal A blinding light leaves us in joyous extol Debris drifts down and all around Who ever they were, they now scatter our grounds Drastic measures called for drastic decisions All us fighting adults and me, they are now deaf by incision From this day forward we will all start anew The billions we were, erased to a few We must educate and learn from our past For we now have the honour, to make us humans last http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/fantasy-12.php
