Aliens Observers 2
What if there were aliens making plans to invade and destroy planet earth? Perhaps they would rethink their strategy and observe what's coming to birth.
Perhaps they would of necessity downsize their war budget and fighting armory. From miles away they would watch our world self-destruct and bath in disharmony.
Would they marvel at the self-destruction of such a once masterful paradise? Would they wonder in utter confusion about how we dumbed down, dismissing the wise? Would they take second thoughts about defeating us after calculating such waste? The waste of resources; the waste of brotherly love; the waste of God's trust in us?
If they could cry, would they not weep for our lust for pleasure, for power, for money? If they could 'feel', would they alter their invasion plans and find a way to help us heal?
I cannot speak for aliens, but if they exist, I think that when they see all that we have squandered, mismanaged, and taken for granted; and when they hear with their own ears our hate-filled war-cries of self-destruction, they would cry rivers and oceans of tears.
