Klaatu and Gort - Together Forever

Klaatu And Gort Together Forever Alien translation -"Klaatu barada nikto” or “I died. Repair me. Do not retaliate.” (I said this to my robot Gort) (From the film: The Day The Earth Stood Still Film writer: Edmund North) I guess it worked as here we are At least in memory Do they still take diamonds as currency? Is this New Jersey or some 1951 film? And does Gort still stand by our saucer with his glowing red eye? I used to stop time and the Earth on a dime Machinery and things would cease It seems like so much has changed Color is part of life And everything’s strange I seem to remember, “The Day The Earth Stood Still.” Does it still run? It used to be black and white The film that is…if I’m right Klaatu and Gort don’t come from France As some have suggested But from the minds of man or alien planet Here to protect us Poem by: Earl Schumacker (Become a Fictitious Character- poetry contest entry)
