How It Plays In Outer Space

Those Earthlings are at it again
         Oh goody, let's listen in...

"Your brazen actions endanger the public welfare."
   "Your unconstitutional actions constitute warfare!"

      My, but they sure do go after each other
         You'd think they'd try to work together as brothers

"Your political grandstanding is purely barbarian."
   "Your heavy-handed directives are totalitarian."

      Oh, here they go with their name-calling again
         Yes. Their immaturity knows no end
      And haven't we actually heard all this before?
         For sure.  Before each of their stupid wars

"Well if you try that, I assure you there will be consequences."
   "Wutcha gonna do?  Put us behind barbed-wire fences?"

      Wow.  I 've heard enough, haven't you?
         Yup.  Let's give 'em another thousand years or two...

You would think this, and yet we are more divided than ever. " You'd think they'd try to work together as brothers" so sad.

Eavesdropping on aliens as they evaluate the conundrum of human existence - how intriguing!
