Fly On The Wall

‘Satire is traditionally the weapon of 
 the powerless against the powerful.’ – Molly Ivins

Oh, those alien visitors
that spin through our worldwide skies!
We fear to report them-
afraid we'd be judged.
With our mouths closed, we carry on.
And yet, some do know about them!
To be a fly on the wall
in those secret, closed-door meetings,
where they are trained to cover truths-
that we Earthlings are not alone.
