Et's Lament
Silence of space
broken by a ships' roar
across the expanse
to dock at the stations' shore
while the unidentified flying
hover nearby in their quiet craft
objecting, "They can not come here!"
Not to our corner of Milky ... no!
no earthlings must stray
for they come only to prey!
We must keep the universe pristine
and these humans never trust
with their predaceous lust
for our bauxite, uranite,
calcite, pyrite ... right! right!
"Not in my back yard!" cried
the saucer-eyed leader.
Let them stay on their blue sphere!
Get this ark in gear ...
its time once again
to let them know we're here
in the neighborhood!
