Poem Title:
Poem
They fall from the sky Shooting down like stars They're beautiful to watch Even in the daylight We see them clear as day The long tail which follows Streaming through the clouds They break into our atmosphere Forcing us to gaze at them in awe We don't know what they are Nor where they have come from They aren't simple asteroids That crash against the planet They are more complex More mechanic as they fall Leaving prefect craters in the earth Some the size of houses All the while we wait and wonder Hoping these things are good Hoping we won't have to fear them We stare down into the crater Peering through the darkness Something begins to stir Forms start to take shape We see the creatures moving Coming up from the abyss Beings we've never seen Creatures from a new world When they climb into our view We know they do not want peace They are menacing and evil With weapons none could imagine We scramble for safety Hiding where they cannot see Hoping they do not destroy us Begging for the massacre to end These creatures never stop They come at us with such force No matter if we try to stop them There's no way to break through These things are smart and clever Capable of what we can only dream They never show their fear Never let us know how to end them They remain on the planet with us Enslaving our once powerful race One day we'll rise up again One day we will have our revenge We'll find the way to make this end We'll take back what belongs to us.
