They were watching always watching Although he didn’t even know As he lived his life from day to day He was the star of his own show. They watched his every move, How he lived with his mate, How well they both adapted To their isolated state. They seemed to cope so well Never seemed to have a care So long as each of them knew The other was near somewhere. They made love so delicately With lots of tender sighs Unknowingly watched eagerly By hordes of alien eyes. Any offspring was awaited. A hoped for event. A rebirth of the species Was the watcher’s intent. It was prime time viewing. Every single hour of their play Being watched and edited Before selected airing every day. The programme always started With the sign on their enclosure door *****Sapiens (Cloned Versions) - Not extinct anymore; DNA extracted from fossils Found on the ruins of the Earth Destroyed by this very species That didn’t appreciate its worth. They were watching always watching Although he didn’t even know As he lived his life from day to day He was the star of his own show
