And You Are

And you are? Human And this is? Earth They stand and look with no eyes In confusion they crouch to touch What happened? Invasion Who? We didn't know They assess the barren landscape There seems to be no proof of life and nowhere to go Why only you? I survived How? I don't really know They scan me with strange devices And see I'm human right enough? We take you Where? A place to live Why? One of them lifts his visor up so he can look me in the eye Then says: Because the earth died so many million years ago And in that time since the human race became extinct we've studied your planet......... And there has been no sign of life
